<p>Hi Heme - my usual "taper" is simply to not run the 2 days prior to the race, but otherwise follow my regular running routine. This seems to be adequate for up to HM distance and because I'm not a fast runner anyway. This week though, I opted to not run Tues also, and may not run tonight because of how my legs felt last night. I think the more rest the better for me right now.</p>
Wishing it were Friday, but it's not..... 05/19
<p>Hi all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KS, you can have our rain... I've seen enough!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OM...... sounds like your interview went well! Good luck with that and I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you when you get that surgery next Tuesday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>HappyFeat.... Are you tapering for your Sunday race? Or just treating it as a training run?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rip, your list of "Ends of the World" made me smile. I just got a FB invite to a Post-Rapture Looting Party! Snork!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the supportive words! Johnny, that's pretty much what I was doing, although I have to be careful about the daydreaming <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">. That's part of what's been getting me into trouble these days. That, my natural tendency to depression, the taper, and some bad news I got on Tuesday. My best friend is doing a great job in talking me through it all and is coming to visit this weekend for garden-centre therapy.</span> I'm probably going to hold off the running for one more day (and not just to keep the co-worker off my case) and get in a light spin with some core work later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some good news... I heard a rumour that our department here just hired a new Manager...... and she's an elite runner and coach! Ohboyohboy!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day, everyone!</p>

<p>No working out today unless you count climbing up and down scaffolding a 100 times. Tomorrow will be more of the same as I finish redoing a roof</p>
<p>that has been a problem for a while.</p>
<p> </p>

</div>
<p><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Yes</span>, it COUNTS! I continue to be impressed, Rip.</p>
