For me, it doesn’t really feel like a taper because I don’t feel that I really trained hard.  I didn’t increase my mileage.  It stayed around 3 miles with an occasional 4 miler thrown in. On the weekends, my long runs were mostly pieced together (a 5k or 10K with more later).  I think I only did 6, 10 & 12 milers in one stretch.  And even those, I walked a lot of those miles.

So I don’t feel ready but then again, I don’t feel tired or over-trained.  We’ll see how it goes. I am pretty confident that I will finish.   How fast?   Haven’t a clue.

This week, I am just taking slow …getting some runs between the raindrops and making sure that I stay healthy.

On Monday, my day off, I squeezed in 4 miles on the rail trail before the RAINS (and I mean heavy rain & wind) came.

love the colors of fall

Yesterday, I just walked at work.

Today, I ran 2 miles on the track after work.

Wed Yoga with Lisa 

I have posted several times about how much I enjoy yoga & its benefits for me.

Yet, I find it hard to fit it in.  I haven’t been since May.  First it was because of vacation & then breaking my foot.  Then since getting back to running, I have been lazy.

This week I am tapering so I have no excuse.  So tonight, I went.

I loved it.  So relaxing…  The stretches felt so needed!!

Happy Running! How do you feel about tapering? Do you do yoga?
