Day # 113: Day Off

After three consecutive days of training during the first of two "taper weeks", I am taking today off. Yesterday afternoon I started feeling a bit of pain in my right knee that is still present today. Definitely a good idea to give it some rest. Tomorrow I plan to run 3 SLOW miles at 9:30-9:45 pace, then this weekend run 7-8 miles at a SLOW 9:45 pace. All of next week is about carbing up, drinking water, consuming potassium, and preparing myself mentally and physically.
