So I've finally figured out this whole tapering thing...they SAY you taper so that your legs are nice and fresh before you run the marathon. But REALLY the reason we need to taper is because our mind is saying "STOP WITH ALL THE RUNNING! LETS JUST DO THIS ALREADY!!!". Seriously. I'm over it. I just want to run the marathon. Let's go. I've been training for 5 months and I've memorized every street name, street corner, mile marker and porter potty location in all of Lancaster of County. Bring on the 26.2
Speaking of porter potties...While I was running a 10 miler this morning I came across one around mile 6. Which was great because I was in desperate need of one. While I was inside some old man was trying to get inside. I guess he didn't expect it to be in use. Well after I was done he was very apologetic. Then he proceeded to point to some nearby holes and told me to watch out for the ground hog. uhhhhhh....thanks for the advice, i'll be careful. "Hey buddy, i'm trying to run 26.2 miles here, a lil ground hog attack is not going to stop me!"
