Today, I had 6 miles on the calendar. They didn't get done. Instead I actually slept well for the first time in weeks. 9 hours, which is completely unheard of for me. Then I sanded and mudded my Mom's bedroom ceiling for almost 5 hours (with another hour clean up). I could call that cross-training, but my new "do something every day toward your goals" mantra means I have to actually do something toward my marathon goal. That means real cross training. Today that means 100 situps on the Pilates ball. I did this Monday, and didn't feel it until last night. I expect Saturday's long run will be interesting, if the same happens again.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Sounds to me like you had a well-deserved little sleep in and day off running. Good for you!
Most times, a well needed night of good sleep will help your goals better than a short run. It's just too difficult to work into a training plan.
