11 Days and Counting - Taper Runs

This is my taper time. The runs are not as intense, and sometimes not as long. Tonight I ran 2.5 miles and it felt pretty good. It was a long day at work, so a short quick run was in the cards.

Mark and I were at the gym tonight. Mark was on the stair machine and I ran on the treadmill. I didn't want to do a longer run and run hard, so fast gym run was in the cards.

Taper means cutting back. Run just enough to keep your body in training, but don't over do. People tell me they love the taper. I am ok with it. I am usually so used to the training runs, I tend to miss the intensity.
