Good afternoon!
I ran 8.1 this morning. It was a good run, and I thanked the Running Gods.
I hope everyone has a good evening.

I bought some arm sleeves and gloves today. It's 86 degrees outside.

HOLY CRAP. YOU GUYS. I have less than 3 weeks until I lose my fucking mind!! D: D: D: SO SOON I'M NOT READY
Sounds about right.
What will I do with my extra time and energy? How will I justify all the extra junk I like to eat??
Well, to be fair, taper madness is not a given. I for instance, have never had it. But I am a certified oddball, so you most likely will. In which case, you are going to drive us bonkers. lol
I never taper enough to get 'madness' I am always running more than I want to be running during taper. I think most people taper too much.
Super B****
I've never had it either. I have madness 24/7, the thought of an increase in that is kind of frightening.

I have been stuffing my face during this taper. Food!!!!!! And today I made a potato and chickpea curry for the first time just because. It was good. And then I ate pizza. And then I ate 5-ingredient energy bites that probably had 10 ingredients. And next....? TBD

You could always revert to tapering the old way, only 7-10 days. By the time taper madness hits it's already race day.

My coach gives me something around 10 days, with the Wednesday before an MLR with 6 @ MP (which I'm going to do this Friday cause I have no time before it). And I agree, most people taper too much. However, this time I'll be doing my 14 day taper with gusto and enthusiasm. I have been waiting for a break for quite some time.
RD for me. I twisted my ass (piriformis and sacrum) and even after Pilates and the stretching we did it's bugging me, so I'll move my 5 to tomorrow. Grrrr.
I'm a lot of things but a liar is not one of them (well, on this topic anyway ). I never said I was doing CIM.
