Well, the last long run of the program is over and, I have to say, coming the day after a tough race effort, it was a hard run and I'm feeling a bit beat up. My calves are quite tight and I'm tired. But the true taper starts now.
After the many weeks of 50 plus miles, this next week will be 32.
After so many 12, 13, 14 mile mid-week runs, the longest this mid-week will be 8
After so many 18,19, 20 mile long Sunday runs, this one will be 12
After so many 5 day running weeks, this one will only be 4
My body knows it's time to rest and to heal. I'm in as good a running shape as I've ever been - now it's time to take care of myself and truly savor the remaining 8 runs before Patriot's Day.
