Taper Begins!

Ladies,

So today we reduced running by one mile. Big deal, you say. Well, it is.

If normally we run 6 miles, then a one-mile reduction would be almost a 17% reduction in running miles. Yeah, that's significant, especially as that will become the norm from now on. It's going to be much, much easier and faster to get workouts done.

Tomorrow we have the time trial, but for the rest of you girls, it will be intervals. Not many, with lots of rest, but there will be intervals. The mileage will also be reduced. Believe me, it won't be a hard workout.

The time trialers though... that's another story. It's time to get your game on. Tomorrow is very important to anyone wishing to race further into the season. For the seniors involved, race like it might be the last time - it might be! The top 4 runners will race this Saturday. Barring the unforeseen (injury, meteoric improvement on someone's behalf) the top 3 runners will lock down Regional as well. Backs are against the wall, ladies. It's do or die.

Saturday's race for the girls will be at 11:15. I will want you there by 10 AM. I'm going to be posting this all week, so don't be surprised.

I don't know about you gals, but I'm excited about tomorrow!
