Good luck! I would get in an easy 3 miler in before the race though either tomorrow or day before especially since you did not run Monday. That many days off and you lose your edge/sharpness and some blood volume!

Okay, got in a 3 miler this morning.
Felt great! Really feel like the taper is working, I ran a 10:02 pace with an average heart rate of 143.
Lots of unspent energy right now.
Forecast is still showing mid 50's for the start and slight chance of rain.

Am I doing this right?
That sounds like perfect running/racing weather to me. Good luck!
No excuses....
