Hubby had quite the week himself. I don't often mention his training, but he has been putting in a lot of miles over the last several weeks in preparation for his first marathon coming up on November 1st. Yesterday he ran 39 KM (24mi) in 3:19 (!!!) to wrap up a 125.4 KM (78mi) week. Amazing! I'm proud of you, honey!

As for me, my first long run of taper was a nice little 25K/15.5mi. Amazing how short that seems now, although I still had a bit of a hard time. I wasn't feeling great as we faced many ups and downs on the trail portions of our route. I plugged along and got it done to wrap up week one of taper. Two weeks to go!
