Yay, this was my first taper run. I only had to run 12 miles and was happy to gain a few hours back in my life. I went down to a friends in a flat area, no hills!!
We started around 6:30 and looped back a few times to grab different runners every 3 miles or so. My piriformis was still acting a little crazy, and my hips were tight.
I just kept thinking about food AND the fact that this was the last double digit run. I was maintaining a 10:15 pace which is great because that was the goal marathon pace.
I managed to run 12 miles in 2 hours, which is average, but given my pain I was happy.
I then ate probably the best bagel of my life. I'm so mad I didn't take a picture. It was a french toast flavored bagel (that is made with maple syrup), with vanilla walnut cream cheese.
