Jefferson High School - 7 miles, averaged 7:44. Did a few strides.

Highest weigh-in in a couple months. I'll figure it out eventually. Feeling pretty taper-y.

Lunch: Looked over the week leading up to Sugarloaf in May. I recommend folks who are feeling the tapering blues to check out what you did before your last marathon and how you were feeling (if you tend to write a lot as I do). Made my day much better.

Late: 25 minutes of stretching and rolling + 10 minutes of hips and glutes. Legs feel fairly stretched out despite lazy mode this weekend and end of last week. Short runs are probably helping.

Newton Gravity III Miles: 7.00

Weight: 175.90

Keeping loose. That's gotta feel good. I'm with ya on the weigh ins.. And I haven't started tapering yet. :( Uh oh. Good call on reading through old blog entries.

I'm hoping it's just 5 lbs of undigested red meat in my colon. Whoops. A bit graphic maybe.

I thought I was feeling different than in previous marathons. I am pretty sure I am on par with how I have felt in the past. Always good to note how you felt on a workout and leading up to a race.

Not used to the red meat I see?

I do the same thing with notes on here. I tend to write down every little ache and pain so if they turn into something I can usually track down what caused it. That's great you're right on track with sugarloaf. That's a good one to stay on par with!
