We are in the taper folks! This week brought a reduction in mileage as well as me being sick. I have just been feeling run down and Thursday and Friday was home from work attempting to rest up.
I think it is just work + marathon training + busy social calendar catching up with me finally.
Sadly, I have craziness coming up. A wedding this weekend, then Chicago, then a trip to Boston, then another wedding I am in and finally NYCM.
Life ain't slowing down any time in the near future.
And here was last week's training:

And here was last week's training:
Monday - 5 miles @ 10:05 - I was surprised my legs felt pretty good after the 20 on Sunday
Tuesday - Cross Train - 75 minutes on the AMT.
Wednesday - 7 miles @ 10:51 - I was feeling shitty and kept this sucker slow.
Thursday - Home sick and got a guilty conscience that I needed to work out. I was smart enough to not run but umm then I decided to do about 60 mins of HIIT. I did this video from Blogilates a few times and then added in another half hour of a HIIT circuit I put together. Dripping sweaty mess in the privacy of my own home. But during the video who knew 50 seconds could seem so.long.
Friday - Full rest day. I was home sick again and made myself actually REST.
Saturday - I took a barre class then ran 7 miles @ 9:41 - I am LOVING barre. I am kind of ready to be out of marathon mode and really tone it up. Barre will be making a frequent appearance in my workout rotation.
Sunday - Bronx 10 Mile + extra. Planned to hit at least 12 but work emergency = me fielding calls while running and throwing in the towel once it finished (but yay negative splits!!) Splits: 10:01, 9:34, 10:20, 10:10, 9:50, 10:16, 10:06, 9.48, 9:46, 9:43, 9:30
Buns were on fire - Bronx is NOT flat. Don't take barre classes the day before a long run. Noted.
Total Miles: 30 miles - I missed one run - had planned to hit the mid 30's but I was better off having 4 days of running considering how I felt.
