Hello taper! I am taking this very seriously, as in “whoops I may have skipped a couple of runs this week”. Here’s a few articles I found on tapering – like life, it’s all about moderation. Too much or too little is no bueno.

In other news this week, Taper Madness (the party) was a great success. Huge kudos goes out to Lisa Linard, Royale, Bearfight, and the American Liver Foundation for putting on such a fantastic event. I do love me a good cover band, and we realized that Kendrin and I shared our birthday cupcakes with the same band five years ago at the Landsdowne Pub. Thanks to Facebook for helping us remember just how long ago that was!
I also like winning stuff! I won a dinner for two to Barcelona Wine Bar! Who wants to be my date? Our crew also won a registration for Reach the Beach, a pair of Red Sox tickets, and a few cases of Hint water. Thanks to Dylan for donating his Sox tickets to me…it was a fun, but COLD night for the game.

Saturday was my last long run with the team. It was a pretty day for a run, and I was excited that I “only” had to run 13 miles. That was a piece of cake compared to last week’s distance! Boston is definitely starting to get marathon-ready…I am loving the New Balance advertisements.
Total distance covered
21 miles

Just the right amount of taper
