10 minute miles.  2 of the kids joined me for the "24" season 5 viewing.  Not surprisingly, Jack Bauer is in trouble again.  In 2 episodes he killed 4 people. 

So, should I start cutting back this week or wait till next week?

Only 4 people killed? Must have been a mild couple of episodes. Two week tapers are usually fine for a marathon. I'm not sure if you should taper more or less with your half marathon being 9 days before the marathon.

Hi Kam. Hi Andy. We need T-shirts. I'm working on it. Any ideas?

i agree with andy that a two week taper is sufficient. just have a serious conversation with your legs -- they'll know what's best.

What is this taper you speak of?

"Taper" is the guy who helps in the construction trade by applying a covering over seams between sheets of drywall.

I love 24...

about that taper, don't taper yet. Makes the legs feel sour if to early, in my opinion

I hear he's real tight with the mudder.

Sour legs do not sound good..

From Lily on Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 16:54:06 from 67.199.178.210

Sounds like sour apples to me...

Taper and Mudder really get along. My sister has two sons with trade names: Tanner and Mason. We always joke if she has another, they'll name him Drywall-guy.
