A mini taper in that I cut Fridays run in half and rested on Saturday but otherwise the real taper starts this week. I have 43 miles, then 35ish and I never remember what race week looks like. I am looking forward to fresh legs-I swear I’ve had tired legs for a month now. The race should have been my last 20 mile run but honestly the first 20 mile run was fine and I would rather run a fun race instead.

I was right at 1:53:50 and technically 4th since the two women who placed 1st and 2nd overall were in my age group! I had a blast and I think next year I could be a bit faster. I feel a lot more confident about the big hill in the Dallas Marathon now.
