Taper Week is Coming

It's hard to believe, but next weekend is it. Where did the time go? The good news is that my knee appears to have made a full recovery!

I can't believe that next Sunday I will be able to run 14 miles, but I've done it before. It seems like such a lofty goal. This weekend's short long run (sounds crazy when I state it like that) of 6 miles is going to be the testing ground for my exciting new toe socks and shorts. Everyone goes on and on about how great these injinji socks are because they keep your toes separated and cut down on blisters. They also apparently give your toes freedom to move around, so your toebox feels more comfortable. They feel kind of weird just trying them on. I will have to run in them for the miracles to occur I guess. I also bought some of those Nike Tempo shorts that I see almost everyone in. Given my thigh friction issues, I may be inviting disaster. So if you see me on the side of the road with my shorts on fire and gloves on my feet, this should explain. And please pull over and put me out. Thanks!
