I didn't actually plan for this week to be such a taper but I'm just more concerned with getting myself to the start line feeling good on Saturday than anything. I'm still not sleeping through the night so I just went to the gym this morning with the intention of running and lifting weights. I got out of the car and did a mental health check and actually thought "wow, I don't hurt anywhere" once I started running though I could still feel some fatigue in my Quads from Suncrest, I decided to just elliptical it instead of damage myself any more. Did that for 50 minutes and then weights. I'm really at a loss as to where I am physically right now, running slow everywhere doesn't give you a good indication. I know I can run for a long time but how fast is another story. My goal for Saturday is simply do better than I did last year. I really want to win an engraved river rock (age division prize) which even with my last years time I should do since I'm old now. A top 10 finish is my A goal, but at this point I just really have no idea what to expect.
