I almost always take a rest day before a marathon. I ran 2m today as a shake out, but only b/c I couldn't run yesterday.

I have done both. If I had to choose, I think I'd say I like a day of rest best.

I've done nothing and I've done 2-3 miles... it doesn't really seem to make a difference either way. I say sleep!

I like to rest the day before. I usually get in a decent amount of walking at the expo so that's enough time on my feet for me!
