taper anxiety

monday 9/17/07- Well I officially have 3 more graveyard shifts. Yuck!

So 30 minutes ball yoga and my 3.5+ around the block in-31:24:72-oh this includes time lost waiting for one street crossing. I tried to hold a consistant comfortable tempo and never blow out. This felt good. I may be tapering too much but feel this will yield good results because the week leading up to the marathon I will be doing all sorts of crazy adventuring in tahoe. I'm considering adding another ala carte marathon on wednesday or thursday before the race. I feel good. I MIGHT try and do the Triple marathon 3 days in a row. Maybe Ill just chill out and not try and over do everything I do.

taper

wed sept 12th 09/12/07-ok so I did the yoga stretching routine then ran 7 falls switched shoes and ran the road 3hrs37minutes21seconds.

Because of when I work in the morning Im actually skipping my sets tonight.

short run

Tuesday september 11th- Went out to the broadway trailhead and ended up running for 1hr30min11sec. Not sure of the mileage. Kinda got turned around a bit and ended up running a dirt road back around over to the trailhead.
Saw 2 Rattlers, strange though because each had black and white bands extending 4 inches from their rattle up. I saw each snake about a square mile from the other and they were about 4 feet long.
