The clock is ticking down.

Less than one week to go now. This morning I ran the last Long Slow Distance I plan to run until the big day next Saturday when I run my first 10k. They call it “tapering” were, although you do not decrease the intensity, you do decrease the miles you put in leading up to the event in order to rest your muscles and prepare for the final push.

So tomorrow I’ll do a few fast uphill sprints and a slooow and easy two miles around the high school track followed by some resistance work at the gym Monday. And then maybe another slow/easy two miles Tuesday along with a little bike riding and then…rest.

Then no more anything but complete rest.

Until Saturday.

The clock is ticking down...
