Good time to taper - feel like I'm walking a fine line of strength and speed and over all fatiuge at once. Still some hard runing to do but the time for distance is pretty much done until the 50. Tapering is actually harder for me than the training as I feel like I should always be doing more. I know better - and mostly I listen to my self. But still there's a nagging voice urging for more, faster and even more. Hopefully I know better by now. I am older f not a little wiser. We'll see.

The goal is 60 miles for the week. This week and next are my only two planned high volume week before the taper begins for Stone Mill. Leading up to the race, the weeks haven't been filled with a great amount of vollume but some high quality races. So I feel a push for volume will be benificial and will work well with the previous races of the past few weeks. Time will tell.
