Taper has been going nicely. I have had a massage and my last long run on Saturday, 1.5 hrs, felt good and was over before I knew it.
The key to a good taper, though, isn't just physical. More than anything, it's about getting yourself mentally prepared.
On Saturday as I ran past a bus stop and a would-be passenger called out as I passed, "I wish I could do that. I've got busted knees". I realised how lucky I was to be able to consider running a marathon. It was then that I remembered how important it is for me to spend this week focussing on the positives.
Love that you are getting random commentary shouted from bus stops! I think the best thing about taper is that it means "eat week" is just around the corner! :-) Good luck with the marathon LNM. Kel xo
