Tapering like a son of a gun.  My legs don't feel like my own.

Seriously! I have only 14 miles this week, and You're still making me feel like I'm running too much! What's the plan for tomorrow? I'm thinking 7.5.

From Derunzo on Tue, May 10, 2016 at 15:00:22 from 4.31.155.157

7.5 sounds good. I'll go with that!

From Tom K on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 04:43:47 from 50.153.9.9

Psyche! I overslept.

From Derunzo on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 05:51:40 from 4.31.155.157

I love sleeping. I'm going to try and get the 7.5 at lunch today. It's supposed to be in the 70's..... heat wave!

Scratch that last comment. I forgot that it is my co-workers birthday today. I'm eating instead of running at lunch today.

From Tom K on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 06:56:41 from 66.87.123.90

Cake fits in nicely with your taper.

All week, Maine is set for highs in the 70s. EXCEPT RACE DAY, when the high will be 50. I am freaking out. My usual running clothes choices are shirt or no shirt. This is a bit different.

From Derunzo on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 12:02:54 from 4.31.155.157

My race day forecast is very similiar to yours. I'm psyched for the cooler temps.

Go with the shirt :)

From Jason D on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 12:44:38 from 68.80.27.222

Tom: And those 70s will feel quite cool. Highs in the 50s was about what we had in 2013. It's pretty ideal marathon weather. Shoot me a private message if you have any questions.

Deron: And by "my legs don't feel like my own" you must mean "like a 120lb Kenyan ninja runner" I assume?

From Derunzo on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 13:33:36 from 4.31.155.157

Jason.... I wish. Today's lunch at Long Horns Steak house didn't help the cause. My weight fluctuates like my 12 year old daughter's moods. I just put 165 in for my weight because it looks better than the

175 that I most likely am.

From Yasir on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 17:17:43 from 99.20.240.16

Sorry I'm behind Dernzo what race are tapering for. The mothers day run is awesome im gonna try that. Good luck man

From Derunzo on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 18:24:23 from 98.229.177.205

Hey Yasir.... I'm running the Gate City Marathon in New Hampshire this Sunday.

From Tom K on Wed, May 11, 2016 at 19:49:09 from 174.58.54.215

Jason, I did some looking back at other marathons, and I may have over reacted to the temps. 2011 Disney was the same temp at the start, believe it or not.

Yasir, D was supposed to run with me, but missed the deadline. Now he's going to run a much tougher course than I am, and he's still going to kick my butt!

Deron, Any interest in fighting with Georgia State Troopers with me this November? Maybe we should get through this race first.
