tapering sucks.

my longest run was eleven miles and then we did eight last week; this whole tapering business makes me feel unprepared. i did four on monday, three yesterday and two today; all these runs feel so short. and now i'm done training. the run is sunday and i'm supposed to be ready. apparently this is what everyone does and it's normal and i'm storing up energy. whatever. that's a bunch of bull. i feel like i'm losing all that i've worked up for. if i don't finish the race i will blame it on the taper. damn you, [tapir].

Seriously, shut your pie hole. You think you can, you think you can, you think you can... right? Think some happy thoughts already.

the tapir knows best; it works for everyone and it will work for you. your adrenaline will take you further than you know.

see you there!
