Checking In from Taper

Hi there. Just checking in to give a little update on the taper. I am feeling more relaxed now. I am focusing on nutrition and doing my best to bed good until the big day on Saturday. I have my goals in mind and my race strategy planned out. I've started a little packing list so I prevent myself from forgetting anything - or at least as little as possible. I went for a short run tonight and feel good so far. I have the sniffles and a running nose, but I'm not feeling anything in my chest really so that's good. I have one run tomorrow that includes a few little speed bursts - just 3 minutes each to stay open - and then one other light run on Friday. Only 4 more days...

Glad you are relaxing a bit. Imagine little a John and Sarah sitting on each of your shoulders repeating ...."it is what it is" and "this is supposed to be fun!"

Can't wait to race with you again!!
