7 - The Taper 10...

... turned 5. You ever have one of those mornings where you set the wrong alarm so you wake up late and then you forget your mace so you're running around in the dark in Downtown Orlando all alone thinking about all the different places your body will be dragged and then your ankle/calf-ish area starts getting all wonky and you're so nervous about your upcoming marathon that you don't want to chance injuring yourself by running further but then you realize you're way to far from home so you have to call your roomie who is sick and you hate to wake up to come pick your @ss up so you don't spend over an hour walking home??? No? Imagine that.

Melissa H said...

Hmmm... didn't I just call to be picked up last week? It must be some sort of Florida virus! :-D

BTW, can't find the yogurts! ARGH!!!

B.o.B. said...

LOL! Love the list and muffin = nickname? For who boo????

7 days!!!! woot!

Running, kind of. said...

Ha! Your first paragraph=hilarious (or was that your first sentence?)

I am impressed by your smart-ness. I think you are decisive, unlike #14 on your list. If you werent decisive you would not have been able to decide to play it safe and call your roomie to come get you!

Your pets are smelly? You have pets??? LOL... :-) Have fun at the beach!

RunningLaur said...

Better to be safe than sorry - you're going to rock Chicago!

Megan said...

Nope, can't say that's ever happened to me. LOL Sorry your run didn't end so well.

Congrats on your award!

Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day!!

Irish Cream said...

Aw, boo. So sorry your last taper run was so crappy. That happened to me during my last training cycle. I was petrified that it meant I was in trouble for the race, when it turned out I was just getting my "bad run" out of my system so as to have a fabulous race day run! I'm sure that's the case in your situation too. You definitely made the right decision to cut 'er short. No point in taking chances this close to race day. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!! :)

Rachael said...

what kind of mace do you carry? I can't seem to find one that I can easily take with me ...

Have fun at the beach, don't worry about the 5 instead of 10, your tapering anyways ...

Almost one week!

Meredith said...

Congrats on the award. You have the marathon in the bag, tapper or no tapper.

Jamoosh said...

#5 - we'll get along just fine...

lindsay said...

you've already put in the work (and a ton of it!), this 10-gone-5 is not gonna make a difference. just gives you even fresher legs :)

X-Country2 said...

Oh no! What a morning. Tapering makes you do crazy things.

Ashley said...

I am really glad I didn't hear about your dead body being found on the news! I am sorry that the run was cut short. have a good weekend :)

dawn said...
