Wednesday: Rest day including 14 hours of travel from Geneva to Atlanta, Georgia. Tuesday: Five mile tempo run along Lake Geneva Monday: 60 minutes of hatha yoga practice But, at the end of the day, I’m focusing on the other 12 weeks of training which were super strong and my half marathon performance versus focusing on last week. There are a lot of excuses I could make for last week between the travel to the United States and some other stress. Now that we’ve reviewed everything I need to do this week while not running, let’s take a look back at last week’s taper. That seems like a ton but I am sure I’m forgetting something.

I could lose myself in all the questions and anxiety leading up to Sunday’s race but instead, I’m focusing on using my energy in a positive way. In less than 6 days I will have the opportunity to toe the line of the Berlin Marathon and enjoy every single second of the experience.
