Does tapering create runners posts that cause mass confusion to the reader or is the reader's taper the cause of the confusion?

Its the runners version of the chicken or the egg quandary.

My point exactly. I think zoom needs to share whatever beer she's drinking for Octoberfest (although being an off the boat Bavarian, its actually in September)

Ha, yeah...I need to change my avatar to reflect my next race, perhaps... Oh, and 20th...20th person in the group to hit the mileage goal. Now I can coast for the next 3 months. Wink

Finisher's party? WTH. Is there beer? Where the hell is it? I did not get the memo and I was writing my TPS reports correctly.

Heh, people doing 2.5 week tapers for a marathon on 10/18 might do 20 milers on a Thursday...did an 18 last Weds...

See ya' over here on Sat. I'll save beer for you. Norm, perhaps we should have a cyber finisher's party. Nothing like a little PUI (posting under the influence) for some fun times. Big grin

I like it and shall begin with my little mini keg of Oberon tonight. Since I am not tapering for a while, I can run off those extra carbs.
