In the taper


So glad to be well into the taper. Way too much running on the treadmill this year. I have now done a 19 and 23 miler on the treadmill...that will so make you mentally tough. Temps in the teens (and lower) and a couple of feet of snow made outdoor running just too challenging.

Marathon is next weekend and I feel GOOD. Hope the weather is agreeable. I have done everything on my training plan. Speed work was done at a minute/mile faster than planned, long runs 30 seconds to a minute faster per mile than plan. I think the chances of a PR are pretty good. Time to start thinking about getting the bike set up on the trainer and getting into cycling shape.
