Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Pushups & planks

5 miles nice and easy around the orchards in Santaquin. It was a beautiful morning.

I am running a few more miles with this taper than I have in the past but is just what feels right. In the past I have "padded" the lack of miles with cross training on the elliptical and I am definitely cutting that out this time around. The next few days will just be easy 2-4 mi runs.

You've also run more miles and wayyyyy more workouts than you have in the past, so an easy 5 now is easier than an easy 5 6 months ago.

I think using this "is this stupid?" litmus test is a good way to approach this week. Do what feels right. And now that we are 5 days out, you can be even more conservative and use the "Is this even a tiny tiny tiny bit stupid?" litmus test. :-) If there answer is yes, don't do it.

i agree with do what feels right. I did that right before TOU in 2010 and it played out well there for me. So excited, 5 days to go!

You're doing great, just nice and easy :)

Your taper looks just right to me. Travel safely and good luck on Monday.
