Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Feeling good today!  I don't seem to have any damage from yesterday's long run--maybe the slightest bit of stiffness if I have been sitting for a while but no soreness.  That to me is a good sign.  So I am tossing about in my head what to do for the next 14 days, and how much to taper.  Considering that I am not injured and feel pretty good, I am thinking I don't need too drastic of a taper.  So I was thinking of something like this:  

M--6 easy  T--14-15 easy W--6 in the stroller easy TH--6 stroller easy F--workout! 2x3 fast(6:52 pace) Sat--10 easy with the tribe    =52 total miles

Race week M--6 easy  T--8 with last 3 at MP W--4 stroller easy TH off!!  F--2 easy Sat--RACE

Overtapering, undertapering, does it look about right?  Any suggestions are welcome.  I  may throw this on the discussion forum as well.

I think it looks good, but what do I know?

Just an idea but rather than the last Tuesday being 8 with last 3 at MP I would maybe do 1.5 warm up then the 3 at MP and say 2+ to warm down, just so you get the feel of marathon pace. 8 with 3 at MP at the end is a bit more of a workout and a little close to the race. Just my thoughts though...

I think it looks beautiful! Good luck!!
