Hey Gang!
I just finished my final long run, it was only 6 miles (who knew there would be a day when I would be saying "only 6 miles!) and I was in a terrible mood, I dont know if it was a tapering thing because I am not the moody kind of person but I was in a BAD mood! I woke up and it was cold! (the family I live with is trying to save money by not turning on the heat, and they dont seem to feel the cold like I do!) then I looked at the weather for the day and it said high of 45! (i know all you people up north have ha sub freezing temps but I had it in my head that it would be a nice sunny warm run after I got back from IN) and my warm running clothes were all dirty from my trip so I was like "I guess I will just freeze then!" well in the end I got out there and got in my miles and ended up taking 8 mins of my previous 6 mile PR! so then I felt better!!! I think it must be the tapering because my moods are just insane right now, I am either crying or laughing or yelling!!!! Not long to go now though, I just have to make it through the week
Congrats to all you who got in those cold runs, you are all so inspirational and the fact that you guys can run through that helped me get through my 6 today!
Triplr1 - thanks for your story, it really helped out a panicing girl
escape - YES WE CAN!!! (at least I think I can!)
Nos - I had the same problems with the chafing on the safety pinned gu, it seems not matter what I do somewhere on me gets chaffed! My friend said I should just roll in a vat of vaseline before the races and maybe I would be ok! But I dont even know if that would do it, great job on the final run
I am now starting to worry about after the race, meaning the day after, I have to work and I start my first day at a new college, my day will start @ 7 and I wont get back into the house until after 9
not sure how I will be able to keep my body going the whole day long!!!
