I'm eating everything in sight and never feeling full, but my waistbands sure are getting tighter. Yikes. I'm also feeling more sore than usual after my runs. In fact today I am resting when I should be putting in 5 miles.
I took a rest day on Sunday (after running 6 days in row). I think the Turkey Trot on Thursday actually hit me on Saturday night. Sunday morning came around and I said, "No running today."
Yesterday I ran 7.3 miles, including 2 miles at tempo (6:55/mile), then a 1:45 recovery jog, followed by 2 x 800s w/ a 1:00 recovery jog after each (3:15 and 3:14), followed by 2 x 400s w/ a :45 recovery jog (1:31 and 1:31). I then stood in our pool for 10 minutes, which was 51-degrees. Brrrrr.
I was SO sore lastnight, hamstrings, inner thighs, glutes. I rolled on the foam roller for a while and stretched a lot. I feel better today, but I need a massage! I think I'll schedule one for tomorrow after I run 5 miles easy.
Time to eat lunch!

Uugg...I wrote a long comment and for some reason it didn't post :(
Anyway, I wanted to wish you the best as CIM! Your training has been amazing and you are going to rock it! Trust your training and your taper. Forget about the aches and pains of taper hypocondria....they're in your head! Don't sweat about all the eating...your body needs the fuel (yes, icecream counts as fuel)! You are about to ask a lot from your body so give it what it wants now :)
Hello GB,
Just stopping in here and wanted to wish you all the best from Korea in your marathon this weekend! Been watching your training and it has been going so well. Let the race come to you and stay relaxed! You're going to do great! Looking forward to hearing about it afterwards!
