I think I'm losing my mind! Actually, my mind is ok, it is everything from my neck down that isn't! I skipped my usual spin/run brick tonight and just went to the park to run instead. I barely even ran - maybe half of the 3 mile loop. That's it. My legs feel like they weigh 80 lbs each. I saw Liam bike by and then entertained myself by doing math to figure out when he would pass each time again. I was pretty much spot on each time. I won't say how many times he rode the 3 mile loop while I ran (walked) it! I was barely even running at a 10:00 pace yet I somehow expect to run 8:xx pace on Saturday in my race? Usually things work themselves out in situations like this, so hopefully my real legs magically reappear by Saturday morning.
Also, does the rock hard ab workout still work as well if I'm eating whopper eggs while doing it? I sought out some retail therapy at Target after my lovely run/walk and ended up buying 4 bags of Easter candy...it was 50% off - I can't pass up a sale!!
Ugh -I'm not freaking out at all about my present state; I just want it to be over. I feel super sluggish and just want to do nothing but eat and sleep. Hopefully racing this weekend will shake things up a bit.
Oh, I also think there will be a showdown on Sunday. Liam is doing the full half ironman and I think his wave starts at 7:30. I'm doing the aquabike (swim and bike of the half ironman, but no run) and I am supposed to start at 8am. There is a real possibility that he will finish the whole stinkin' race before I finish the aquabike. I talked some smack though, so hopefully I can put my money where my mouth is!

Except the Easter candy thing.
tapering is a trippy thing. You should be energetic because your not training as much, but instead I can not wake up!
