I am loving this taper. \u00a0I really, really am!<\/p>\n
Last year, when MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I trained for our marathon together, we reached the taper period of our training and I wanted to keep on going. \u00a0Run. \u00a0Run. \u00a0Run. \u00a0I didn’t want to slow down. \u00a0I had tons of energy and the lack of miles about drove me up the wall!<\/p>\n
This race is different.<\/p>\n
I had mentioned in a previous post about how weary I am. \u00a0So tired that is has settled deep within me. \u00a0I really can’t explain it. \u00a0It goes way beyond needing a good nights sleep. \u00a0It is total and complete exhaustion. \u00a0I have been eagerly anticipating this time of tapering.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I only had to run 8 miles. \u00a0It was lovely! \u00a0This morning, only 4! \u00a0Can you believe it!?! \u00a0Only 4 miles! \u00a0It was like Christmas morning!!! \u00a0Well, except for this past Christmas morning where I was out on a 24 mile training run. \u00a0It was a weird Christmas day.<\/p>\n
So, I am Loving this Taper!!!<\/p>\n
People are telling me that by the end of the week, I will be going absolutely nuts and they are probably right. \u00a0But for how, I intend to relax. \u00a0To be a slug. \u00a0To only have to run 2 hours on Wednesday instead of 4-6. \u00a0That sounds so awesome!!!<\/p>\n
So, raise your glasses high! \u00a0Here’s to tapering! \u00a0Cheers!!!<\/p>\n
P.S. \u00a09 days until race day! \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
