Goals for the week:

• Clear pee (hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!)
• Rest (as in sleep; trying to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, which is more than normal for me)
• Run the runs on the schedule and really rest on the rest days (no cross on rest days!)
• Stay away from sickos (much easier now that I’m the only one in my office; it seemed like a secretary or attorney was always sick during my previous taper weeks; now I can just hole up in my office by myself)
• Eat decent (limit crap food and beer! notice I didn’t say eliminate?  when I try to eliminate it back fires and I end up binging and having even more than normal)

So the week is supposed to look like this:

• M:  Rest
• T:   6 miles easy
• W:  7 miles w/ 2 at MP
• Th:  Rest
• F: 5 easy w/ a few strides
• Sa: 4 easy
• Su:  Race day!

If you want to set up tracking, I’m number F576.
