Well, since I'm positive y'all must be losing sleep over not knowing how Sunday's 20-miler went (riiiiight) . . . I'll get right down to it. It went a little something like this:
But, I got 'er done nonetheless. It wasn't pretty; in fact, at some points (especially one right around mile-19), it was downright ugly. But I finished the 20-miles, and I am officially in taper. How do I feel about that fact? Well, see for yourself:
Full report coming soon, I promise! You won't want to miss this one (or maybe you will if you don't like reading about vomit--yup, how's that for a teaser?)!
Also coming soon . . . a whole lot of crazy! WOOO! TAPER MADNESS!!

haha. cute pics. 20-milers aren't typically something you are ready to party about after in my experience :) the important part is you completed it! good luck tapering, try to not go too crazy!
Ha ha ha love it. Good work! Enjoy your taper!
Love the visual, Irish! 20-milers, especially in this heat, is just going to suck, no matter who you are. The important part is that you got it done! Can't wait for the (yucky?) details...or maybe I should have breakfast first?
Congrats on getting to the taper!
YAY!!! 20 miles is 20 miles!!! now rest up and get those legs ready to race!!!
Yay, congrats on toughing out the 20 hot miler! Keep busy during the taper - race day will be here soon enough! Keep us posted on how you deal with the taper demons! Ana-Maria
ha! Hey, key word there - "got 'er done!!"
congrats on reaching the taper part, you're gooood. ;)
also - thank you so much for your comment yesterday and your thoughts. you're right - we definitely go through "off" periods, and I'm just thrown by it because it's been a while. but, I have no plans to PR on saturday. Just want to enjoy the race and the company of the group :) and last time I had that attitude, I had a Great time. high hopes!

GREAT job on getting through that 20 miler! Take it easy on the taper :-)
You did it. And you'll do it in the rce too! Great job.
I'm a firm believer that you benefit from crappy training runs. Now you know you can handle whatever comes your way and still finish. Good luck!
Nice illustrations there!
