6 days...:)

The final countdown is here.  I am in full taper mode, and I love it!  Some people hate tapering, but I think it is fun.  My body is feeling ridiculously fresh (you don't know how hard you were working until you taper), and I love the free time I have.  It is as though I now have weekends again!

Yesterday my ride was easy followed by a comfortable brick run.  I was home so early, I was able to read, spend time with the dogs and Dave, go shopping, go to Greek Fest, watch Transiberia, and more!  Holy Saturday!

Today I had an easy hour run on the schedule.  I took advantage of the opportunity to take Dave and the dogs with me to the park.  We jogged easy, peed on trees (all of us), chatted, took breaks, and just enjoyed our family.  One of my strengths as an athlete is my ability to take it easy.  When my plan says easy, I have fun.  I don't whine about pace or resting.  I embrace it.  The work has been done for a while now....my body needs to absorb it!

6 days till IMTX.  I am getting so excited!
