First taper week went well.
4 solid workouts, 4 good runs. We did our last longish run this morning and it was amazing! We did 8 miles in 1:14!! Super solid run for us. I have to say that getting in 4 good leg workouts this week really had them feeling strong this morning. I could definitely feel more power pushing off each stride, and it showed in our pace. That, and it was a beautiful, sunny, cool, crisp morning out there.
Getting excited about next week, hard to believe marathon #4 will be underway a week from right now!
Outfit planning has begun. I am loving all the cute knee highs that are out there right now. I got a pair to wear over my compression sleeves....purple will be the theme for this run. Even the 'marathon toes' will be purple this time instead of blue. (sticking with the colors they turn after, just a different shade : )
Starting to think about kid planning during the run....what will they do for 4 hours, should I pack them lunches? Can they get to the mile 26 marker to see us and give us a boost that last .2 when we need it most? Will Simone be pulling her hair out by the time we finish? They love her, so hopefully they will behave!
Anyhow, lots more to say.....but no time. Gotta get ready for meeting!
Maybe more later....
