Track: Another cold drizzly night goal was 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 all at 85 per quarter with rest at half the time of the previous interval. We were right on and it felt solid, decided not to push the pace any faster towards the end of the workout since it is so close to the marathon.

Tempo: Back to our rolling course, it's been awhile and the legs definitely didn't enjoy the rollers at 6:15 pace, but not a bad workout considering the light warm up.

Long runs went just fine. Hamstrings are "cranky" but hopefully the massage this morning has worked that out!
Mentally I'm not sure what's going on, this taper hasn't really felt like a taper for me. I'm not stir crazy, and I'm really relaxed about the marathon. Hopefully that's a good sign!

You will be awesome girl...trust in that training!
I always hate the taper, you never feel quite right. However, you are so determined and every race I have seen you at, cool and calm.
You will rock it this weekend. Good luck!
