This Taper Stuff Isn't So Bad
So Sunday is usually a pretty big training day - 3-4 hours on average, maybe a little bit more during big training weeks. But taper time comes along and I find on my Sunday schedule "35 minute run". Hmmm....
Aforementioned 35 minute run was completed this morning before church and all went well. I felt good and my hamstring was cooperating and the only disappointing thing about the whole run was that it was over so soon! Roxy surely was disappointed about this fact too. Sundays are usually her day to shine - long runs that she loves! Oh well, there will be plenty of those in the future.
When we got home from church (and lunch at Qdoba) we read the paper and then took a nap and I thought to myself more than once that taper time really is an under-rated time of year! I mean what else do I have to do? Such a treat to relax and even waste a little time here and there. If I did it all the time I would get bored and not appreciate it, but after working hard all year this final taper is feeling awesome!
And so it goes. Just a few more days before we leave now. Hope everyone has a great start to their weeks!
