So for the last couple of days I've been in "The Taper". Some people hate the taper. They complain about feeling like they aren't doing enough and are restless. Me, I love it. After months of training I can feel my legs again and it's great.
I've spent this week doing all the right things. I've stayed off my feet, got my massage from Balance (thank you Jessica) and getting my hip worked on by Jim Browning.
I also seriously believe in making sure I eat enough pasta and cookies (sugar is fuel also). Oh, and pancakes too.
I'm very excited b/c I leave tomorrow. I plan on getting my good luck run in with Mike D and then I'm off to Chicago.
And I'm off to watch Grey's Anatomy. Love the show.
About Me
- Renee High
- I grew up in Franklin, Kentucky. I moved to Virginia Beach in 2003 and in 2004 I met the gang at Final Kick. Final Kick quickly became my home away from home. I ran my first marathon in 2005 (Shamrock Marathon). It was one of the most painful and amazing experiences of my life. I ran a 3:07 and I crossed the finish line with bloody heels (the right socks are so important). I couldn't wait to run another marathon and I choose The Richmond Marathon. I loved this race and it's still one of my favorites. Shamrock 2006 was my breakout race. I won it in a time of 2:45:40 and I was ecstatic. I also qualified for the trials with this race. Over the next couple of years I graduated from Nursing school and then eventually received my Master's in Exercise Science. In 2010 I raced the Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:45:26 and again qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials. This was an amazing day for me. And I can't wait to race in Houston 2012
