Extreme Taper.
So this is my race strategy. Extreme taper.
I was going to run tonight...and since the weather in Chicago is sucking (humid, gross and semi-rainy) ONCE AGAIN...I'm on the couch...chillin...watching Bring It On All Or Nothing. :) Practicing the fine art of extreme taper.
And let me tell you...I'm good at it.
Perhaps a little too good.
So last night I worked until 9:30....and today I was out at a reasonable hour...so I'm actually relaxing and not letting myself do anything. But sit on the couch...
Tomorrow I'll try to do a few miles (4-5 maybe?) and then do a 2-3 mile walk on Saturday to loosen up.
Ahhh....I love tapering. And Sunday morning at the half marathon...I'll start strong and probably begin tapering around mile 4 :)
Okay...I'm off to get a limeade.
Ooooh...and all discs with the Great RBF Music Exchange are in the mail. Enjoy!!

I'm so excited for my CD! Thanks!!
And RUNNING Jayhawk...RUN!!! :) Enjoy your race.
Good luck with the race, I am looking forward to the disk and more so who made it. :). Thanks Barb
I should have gotten in on the RBF tunes, dangit! Glad you are enjoying the taper!
Go get them, girlie! You will do very well on Saturday.
Is it ok if I borrow your extreme taper plan? Although, I'm afraid my taper will probably last a little longer than yours.
I can't wait for the CD!
Yeah!!! Thanks wonder woman for doing that ex-change... :-)
Good luck this weekend! You'll be fabulous!
Will you please email me a list of some of the songs?! And I love the "extreme taper" - sounds a bit like my week, eesshh!
I'm just going to have to ignore the fact that you're watching Bring it On 3 ... though I'm sure Mike was right there with you.
I am SO excited to be doing the CDC Sunday -- my first distance event EVER. And Barb, you have been a wonderful TnT mentor, sharing your own challenges with humor. You are truly intrepid! As the bunny says, You go, girl -- and keep on going!
That's not an extreme taper...that's how you taper the right way. Relax and watch bad movies. Maybe I'll see you Sunday morning...or walking past your apt.

Best of luck to you this weekend. I'm sure you will do great! :)
I asked my husband the other day who actually watched "Bring It On 3" and now I have my answer. ;)
Good luck this weekend with your race!
I love this extreme taper plan. I have to have a night of nothing each week ... it's the best. Good luck on Sunday
