I am physically drained. I barely handled an easy 5k run tonight. My legs screamed the entire time. Bring on the next two weeks of tapering. I am so ready. I hope my CFE clinic (starting Monday) won’t do too much damage. My legs are pretty fed up with me.

Next Sunday’s 10k race will be a challenge. I want to push myself but I know it’s wise to hold back. If I run the race as a tempo and not at race pace, I should recover before the marathon. A massage will definitely be on the agenda too.

In other unrelated news, I need new tires and my rent is increasing my $70 starting August 1. Good times ahead. I just spent the last half an hour making a list of how I can save the extra dough. Time to slash my  television channel packages. I may have to hold off on buying my Vitamix this month. I am so sad.
