Cross Training for a Marathon?

I am planning on starting a marathon training program soon and it has specific days of cross training. It suggests swimming, biking or running, but I’m curious… Can golf be my cross training activity? I always walk when I play, so I figured just hitting some balls in between wouldn’t spoil the walk too much. What do you think? If that’s a no go, would you say playing golf on a rest day is a bad idea? Or is that too much? I would really like to work in one round a week…

What do you think of Motobecane triathlon bikes?

I have been toying with the thought of buying a motobecane bike. They are the cheapest road bike you can get and I dont want to spend more than 0.00. So it works very well for me to get one. Anyone think this is good or bad idea?
