Afternoon Taper Run

Nice taper run in the mid-afternoon sun. 67 degrees, breezy, really very enjoyable. 4.4 miles in 35:56, pace 8:08, faster than intended but what the heck. That is a marathon PR pace, and I’m not going for a PR this Sunday, so I can rein it in a little. The good news is it didn’t feel like I was working that hard. Breathing was four footfalls per full breath, more on uphills. No pains. I used the marathon race shoes just to be sure they are OK.

Saw the oncologist (cancer doc) today. News was neither bad nor good. More in the next post.
