Bridge Which Must Not Be Named (2x)
Greenway to the river, and back. Legs are feeling trained and (mostly) rested for the race. We'll find out in a couple days, I reckon. Tapers before long races seem to carry an air of mild anxiety with them.
How much rest is 'just enough'? You don't want to be over-trained and tired the morning of the race, but you don't want to be lethargic from too much rest either. I'm sure there's a continuum of sorts, but I decided this past week that I'd rather be slightly over-rested than over-trained. We'll see. I may tweak my philosophy after Saturday...
