Now that Georgetown is over, running season is slowing down for me. My body is ready for a break.  So I've cut my running back to two days a week for the next little while.  I'm excited to cross train--do lots of strength, flexibility and core work, so that when it comes time to gear up for So Cal my body is stronger, and more limber than ever.  

So, what is everyone else doing?  Keeping up the same amount of miles, or cutting back for a little bit?  

What do you think the pros and cons are?  Pros for me include--not getting bored with the same routine, being about to really run my best because I'm only doing it twice a week, and to take time to develop strengths in other areas.  

Cons for me are--being afraid I'll lose the "speed" (it's a relative term) that I've gained this season.  But, actually I'm hoping my speed will actually improve, as I try to develop more core strength, and really have a purpose behind each run I do.
