I Don't Like Tapering Week

Wednesday:
Distance: 12.65 km
Time: 68' 25"
Rate: 5' 24" per km
Weather: cloudy, temp 18 degrees, humidity 65%, wind southerly 20 kmph
Week: 27.25 km
Feb: 159.7 km
Year: 680.75 km

Planned rest day Monday, rained Tuesday morning so no go, busy Wednesday morning but managed to get out for short run before going to work at 2:30 in the afternoon.
But the hard part, given the chance, is that tapering takes away the days and the distance that you would normally get done. So races whether to be at any speed or time, are not good for your running. By the end of next week, recovery after MD 50, I will probably have missed 6-8 good running days. So if you run 8 long events a year, that about 2 months of running missed in a year.
Today, was a run on an average, for February, middle of summer, conditions, cool, windy, just get it done day. Not fast, nothing much happened, a flat easy run, slowed by the wind on the back.
Maybe, we will see the sun on Thursday.
