Marathon taper crazy (Read 503 times)

    Ok... I am totally going crazy. (marathon is next sunday) I ran about 8 today it well I wasn't satisfied. I took a couple days off to heal up from a massage. I am reducing my miles... and well I'm going stir crazy but I know it... I am ultra irritable. Every little ache and pain is amplified and causes paranoid thoughts... until I go WTF and slap myself... I want to run fast I want to run long... but I know I need to rest. I figure I am going to get more and more excited... perhaps thursday will come and I will get calm and pensive. ok... I figure this is probaly a bit normal. Especially for the first one. Any suggestions for the week. One I read online was to try to sleep really well friday night as saturday night will be tough to sleep...

        Sounds like a normal taper to me.
