The Hard Part is Complete

"Running a marathon is easy. Training for a marathon is hard." - Runtex

I do a three week taper so right about this point I'm really getting pumped, because the heavy miles are behind we and the cherry on the sundae is waiting. Go nail a 21 miler this weekend and start the coast toward the starting line.

Lots of people have a down stretch during their training. I call it Accumulated Mileage Syndrome (AMS). Hopefully the fact that you've reached that point right at taper time will make the taper easier for you to handle mentally. Good luck on your first 26.2.
