    Rich, and you're cutting back.

     

    I'm pretty sure this is the most miles I've done in a week.

    Tuesday - 6.5

    Wednesday 10

    Thursday - 6

    Saturday - 4

    Sunday - 13.1

    Total 39.6

     

    Time to taper for my 10K...

    Yeah Ray, I've read about a gazillion (is that a number?) articles on how to taper for a marathon and they're pretty consistent.  Cut mileage to 80% the first week, 60 the second and 30 the week of the race.  I actually feel pretty good right now, but am looking forward to the reduced mileage that's finally here...lol

     

    Nice week, btw.  You didn't mention your half, did it go as expected?




    Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
