taper time
Today I did my last longish run (13 miles). The schedule said to do it at 7:50 pace. I started out the first couple of miles on track, maybe a little fast. Then, had some garmin issues. Then, I wasn't really sure WHAT my mile paces were and the run went downhill somewhere around there. I felt sluggish and heavy and wanted to be done and sitting on my couch. I won't read into that run too much, just chalking that up to taper time messing with my head. A lot of people talk about this happening to them so it must just be part of the game. Instead, I am focusing on getting to bed on time, eating right and staying focused on my goals. 2 weeks to go...
