Way to go Marathoners!!!! All over Chicago....what is that I hear???? It's the collective sigh of relief....marathon trainees have reached the taper!!!
For any of you who have trained for a half or full marathon, you know what a glorious time they have just entered. No more forcing yourself to get up before work to make it through a 9 miler, no more running regardless of the snow, heat, rain, humidity, you have just seen the light at the end of the tunnel! Really you made it safely, you are mentally and physically prepared for the big day.
Remember the next few weeks to take it easy, run slow ( at or below marathon pace), and don't get hurt or undo all that great training.
Now go relax, have a glass of wine, take a bath (ice if you so choose or can stand) and enjoy the next 3 weeks of easy running.
You made it!!!!!
Run Happy... Dr Misty
