You've made it to the taper weeks!!!! Time flies when you're having fun I guess because it seems like just a few weeks ago we were starting out with our first long run of 6-7 miles...and now we're going to back to our long run being 10 miles this week and 7 miles next week!!

The next few weeks are going to seem slightly strange because in your head you'll be thinking that the marathon is happening in just a few weeks...shouldn't I be running more?!?!? BUT...if you take this next few weeks to "rest" your body will thank you and it will truly make your marathon experience that much more enjoyable!!! Enjoy the fact that you don't have to spend hours and hours per week running! Hang out with your family, go for a walk, sit outside and read a book, enjoy yourself...the next few weeks can be a lot of fun! (Besides, it's not like you're going to be sitting around doing NOTHING! We've still got run club with some hills and sprints for old times sake, a couple of more "long" runs and some shorter runs in between!!)

I uploaded the pictures from the Bear Water Run! Felipe did a great job at capturing most everyone going around the first lap and we got part of the group in a "group" picture.

Have a great week everyone! I will see you on Satruday morning!
