I'm in Phoenix for the weekend at my cousin's wedding. They got married in the new Phoenix temple. It is beautiful. I had time to get in 30 all out effort minutes on the elliptical before the day's activities began. 

My first week of taper has definitely not gone as planned, but I'm not so sure if I might be better off having done a lot of really hard cross training than I would have been with the usual shorter easier running that I usually do during taper.

How's the calf today?

I think it is 100%, but I never run on Sundays so I'll find out tomorrow. Wish me well.

Good luck Rhett! Wishing you the best.

I still haven't been to the Phoenix temple. Need to get by there some time.

You've been getting in some good cross training. I still think your taper looks great.

Use that taper wisely....
