RECAP: The taper for my spring marathon has begun, and so far, so good. A Saturday long run of twelve miles is a heck of a lot more reasonable than a 22 miler. It was nice to feel like I could have handled more. Weight stayed constant this week, which is a little bit of a disappointment. I’d really like to be under 180 pounds for the marathon, even if it is just by a pound. I’m going to redouble the effort this week.

Anyway, here are the numbers
