Week 14 - Tempo run

Starting to do my variation of the "taper" (winding down my training before the marathon). I was very sore on Monday & Tuesday, so today was the earliest that I felt I should try running again. It went pretty well. I did 5 miles in a hair under 40 minutes, to stay under an 8 minute per mile pace.

In waiting until today to run, it kind of screws me out of running again before Saturday's 10 mile race. I don't want to run Thursday and not have a rest day after today's run, but I definitely do not want to run on Friday before the race the next day. So it looks like another 2 run week. I'm sure my legs are happy to hear this.
