I used to think folks who got antsy during their taper were just nutso. How hard can it be to cut back on your mileage? When you're going down from 20 mile long runs to 10 mile long runs I would think that would be cause one to jump up and down with joy.
Well, I've become a nutso.
I don't miss the 20 milers. No siree, bob! I did two of those SOBs and neither were pleasant. The first one I did on the treadmill. The second I did on the road. I was running in a groove for the second one... for the first 15 miles. And then I wanted to die. I walked most of the 16th mile. And trudged the rest of the miles back home.
I was doing good with watching my diet, too. Until two days ago when I ate 4000 calories. Yikes! Fresh baked brownies and Red Vines are my kryptonite. I was down to 123 a few days ago. 128 this morning. Sigh.
I am terrified and excited!
