Weekend Warrior

I am really having a tough time with getting my weekday runs done. Every afternoon, there's work obligations and meetings, football practices, PTA meetings, errands to run, dinner to make, and lots of general stuff going on. Now, I am not complaining. There are certainly some afternoons when the general stuff seems more appealing than running x miles in 90+ degree heat.

That being said (er, typed), how much of this weekday running can I miss before it's too much? I am getting the long runs in EVERY weekend. Yep, EVERY weekend. That's the most important part, right?

I have three more weeks of training before the taper begins. Only three more weeks! Holy cow! I should be able to run consistently for three more weeks. But, how do I taper and run less, when I really haven't been running enough to begin with? I guess less means less- I'll just do less.

This weekend will be the Thin Mint Sprint 5K Saturday and a long run on Sunday.
