Eight easy miles over the U/Federal Heights/Avenues loop. For the first couple of miles I was stuck wondering how I'm ever going to drag my body through 26 miles at the end of the week, but fortunately I loosened up a bit after a while.  This taper is making me a little anxious ... I think I preferred running > 90 mpw.

Race day magic, baby!

I am looking forward to Saturday- I'm guessing that you and I will be the closest together for most of the race.

Enjoy the taper week...Ha! Taper madness!

Good luck at SGM! Have fun running with Jon and any others and getting that sub 2:30!

It almost seems that way when you taper. The sluggish feeling really hits hard, but your really. 2:30 in the bag even for me. You have to be confident.
