Whew! What's with the unusually hot weather? Did we even have a spring or have we gone to summer already?
I had my last midweek long run of 8 miles Wednesday of this week and I can tell that this body needs a taper. I ran a 4 mile recovery Thursday and it felt like I was crawling, but the HR was up there.
My last long run of 15 miles before I taper for the CMM 1/2 is tomorrow. I'm probably not going to get out until around 9 a.m. I suppose it will be unseasonably hot then too, but I guess that's good training for warmer temps in Nashville. My thick-blooded body is rebelling
Since my mileage is up in the 40's, I'm not really sure how much to taper. I've basically been going by my own schedule.
I can't wait until two weeks from this weekend. Trigal, are you ready?
About Me
- Lace Up And Run
- I started running March 2004 and have only stopped twice due to injuries having nothing to do with running. Running is my exercise of choice and I love it. I have run 4 marathons, 4 half marathons, 2 10 milers, several 10K's and countless 5K's. I much prefer the longer distances, but the 5K's are easier to pick up at the drop of a hat

I've been wondering that too about the weather...had some nice days and then hot and some humidity and it's felt gross...but I am not complaining, I'll take it over cold!! As you saw, I dress warm even on days most people are wearing shorts!! I was not born to the right climate!!
