How was your week? What were you grateful for last week?! Do you enjoy the taper?!
Happy Taper!! You made it 🙂 I hope you get lots of rest in the coming weeks for the race and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the best race day weather possible! I miss the training cycles and am not quite sure what my fitness goals will be (if any!) for next year.
