March 9- Tapering before the Marathon

I would die without my Alex. We run, and run, and run and talk and talk and talk and solve all our problems. I read up carefully on what to do before the marathon and after our 20 mile run we took 2 weeks to taper very carefully and rest up our bodies. Our last 10 mile run was from his office down the truckee river. It was humid and cold but we saw quite a few runners which always peps you up a little.
