Tapering

The tapering has begun. I ran for 40+ minutes very easy this morning. The quads were tight and a bit sore from yesterday's long run. A little soreness in the legs was expected as I spent almost 2 1/2 hours pounding on pavement. The good thing about yesterday's workout was that I know the legs can still run fast when fatigue. This will be very crucial when it comes down to the last few miles in the race.

Today's run: 45:55 (6.4M - 7:10 pace)

Enjoy the taper, Wayne. I'm not one of those people who thinks the taper is pure hell. I always enjoyed the feeling of stored up energy.

I only offer one bit of advice: don't lift any televisions before the race.

Later!
