The Taper

Everything's going well... I've been trying to run at race pace (around 9 minutes) or a little faster. It's easy, of course, for short runs, but a little tougher to maintain for long runs. I did fine yesterday morning, though, on my 12-miler. I think I finished with a pace of 9:30... That was tough, though, because I think my legs were still fatigued from the 20-miler. It was weird. Luckily for the marathon I'll be all rested up after this taper.
