Running With Jack

It was over 90°F outside when I stopped at the pool for some laps after work yesterday. Nothing like a 1000 meter swim in the comparatively cool waters of a pool to refresh you.

The tapering this week is beginning to work its magic, despite an extra hectic week at work. All the little aches and soreness from the hard weeks of training are disappearing and my energy level is recharging. A week from tomorrow (Saturday) is my 50-mile race and I am looking forward to the challenge.

I am going to keep the mileage down up until the race, probably just a 10-mile run this weekend and a couple 5-mile runs during the week. Hopefully this will leave me fresh for race day. Have a nice weekend.
