Ahhh, tapering. The wonderful concept that has kept my runs short for like a month. (Okay, one of those low mileage weeks was vacation’s fault but whatever.) Post National Capital 20 Miler I took it pretty darned easy. This week I ramp it back up only to begin setting it back down in preparation for the Marine Corps Marathon. Fall race season is such a roller coaster!
How it went down:
Sunday | National Capital 20 Miler, 20.04 miles in 3:46
Monday | rest
Well, I helped my friend Lucy do some moving, which is not 100% restful per se, but it was still largely an active rest day.
Tuesday | walked 2.42 miles outside in 40 minutes; 70 minute ballet class
Wednesday | ran 5.33 miles on the treadmill in 60 minutes
Thursday | walked 2.02 miles outside in 35 minutes; 70 minute ballet class
In the rain, because I’m hardcore (and have a giant awesome bubble umbrella).
Friday | ran 5.36 miles on the treadmill in 60 minutes
Saturday | rest
I went to a college football game. Are you aware that football is just as if not more boring in person as it is on television? Tailgating is kinda fun though. Are you allowed to just do that part?

Football is boring? Girl. We need to talk. You're not doing it right.
This is entirely possible. My dad only taught me to love baseball so I'm working from nothing here.
