Pre-Macs shakeout

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Nice run. Felt fresh, fit and ready to go. I think I did the taper nicely, in contrast to last year when I was sluggish the day before. There was some weird shin stuff going on, probably having to do with mileage and general tiredness. However, I am paranoid, and told myself that if I was getting hurt that I just had to run 3 more miles and then I could go on break. Striders were mediocre, as home striders usually are. I'll do a short season recap with my Friday log (not like XC, I promise). I can't believe my 6th season is coming to a close and that fully half of my GDS running career is over. I have several metaphors for running, one of them being the sun's path on a 6 am to 6 pm day. In this metaphor, next XC will be 12 noon. Nonetheless I am very excited for what's coming. I think next XC will be the best season yet.
