So is a 12 day absence acceptable??
Things have been a bit hectic in The Scott's world recently so I apologize to those who have dropped by and offered kind words of encouragement and support...I do thank you all very much!
Anyway...
Not gonna recap all of the workouts and rest days. I have no major injuries or successes to report and have been pretty much status quo except for an out of town trip that squashed working out for four days. So this week it's back into the normal routine, in the midst of a three week taper to the marathon start.
I cannot believe that two weeks from tomorrow, I'll be driving down to Orlando to finally make this thing happen. It's surreal and bittersweet. I still have the mentality that I'm not gonna push myself in the least bit, and in fact am just gonna try to enjoy the marathon as much as possible. Oddly enough, I see it as the reward for making it through such a brutal training schedule. My accomplishment has become making it there as opposed to actually doing the marathon.
Anyway...taper, taper, taper....here is what the next few days will bring:
Today - 30 XT....gonna probably do 40 XT since I feel the need
Thursday - off...going to a Thrashers game
Friday - 40 min run
Saturday - 30 XT
Sunday - 10 mile long run. Will probably do 14-16 since I missed a long run last week. BUT, I'm not gonna do anything that will potentially cause injury.
Monday - off...
So let's see....I liked the Amazing Race finish, I was pulling for Rob/Kim but the boys definitely deserved to win, how bogus was the "phone call" from the family? Shouldn't they have been there?.....Survivor, ugh, Ozzy deserved every cent of that money and I'm really disappointed that Yul ended up winning.....The Office, OMG! What a hilarious Christmas episode!! If you missed it, it's on again tomorrow night.
Well, I think that's about it for now. Hope everyone has a good day! Thanks again for stopping by!
