The taper is really starting to eat at me now. I’m beginning to feel stir-crazy. Largely because I’m home for Easter recess. It has been three days, and I really can’t take being here any more. I love my family and dog, but I just sit inside.
Tomorrow is my first run in a week, as I have been in the pool aqua running for some time now. Regardless, it isn’t running. There is something within the chlorinated water, that is driving me absolutely mad. It asks me to scratch my self to death, and then rip my hair out. No matter how many showers, or how much moisturizer, it won’t go away.
I need to run so bad. To blow off steam, yes. But also just to get away. Free my mind. I would do anything to just pound out a ten miler right now. And the world would begin anew. It would dramatically re-shape the way that I would go about this taper. But that is the madness of the taper.
For if the insanity which I am entering now, is the key to my success at Boston, it is a small price to pay. Lord I hope this is the bargain I am envisioning.
