Took the day off. Not feeling too bad. Nose still drippy, spending most days clearing my throat non-stop but I don't feel bad so I can "live" with it. Just went and walked around Memory Grove with the family to enjoy the beautiful day we had, it hit 70F!!! I'm definitely feeling the taper madness. This has been a longer taper than I'm used to and I'm not particularly enjoying that aspect of it. But I'm glad I didn't push through more runs when I was feeling completely crappy and making it linger around more. I'm starting to look forward to the actual race as it appears there will be a few more people around than what I thought there would be when I first registered. Between Kory, Dave, and Steve (coming off of his GREAT win yesterday) I think we will have a big pack within 5 min of 2:40, and then with Sasha taking the lead there should be a good showing for the FRB... Just under a week to go, I can't believe it!!!
