1. It’s April. It was a really cold spring. Somehow I’ve still managed to get a tan line from my skirts. How did that happen?

2. Speaking of skirts, I’ve been cheating on them.  Shh, don’t tell Miss Zippy, but I found a pair of shorts that I love. They are longer and fitted, but stretch in all the right places.  They even have a built in running liner.  Luckily, they are made by Skirt Sports, so I’m only kind of cheating LOL.

3. Apparently my version of taper crazy is to not want to run at all. I’ve been struggling to get out there at all. I did manage to get out there on Thursday with a friend, but then I talked her into running one less mile than we planned.  Yep, I’m ruining other people’s tapers as well. Go me!

4. I may not be running much, but suddenly I’m hungry all the time again. In fact, I had an after dinner meeting at my favorite brewpub last night and the manager gave me a pizza to take home to Beer Geek. I may have eaten a slice. In the car. Before I left the parking lot.  It just smelled THAT good. (And tasted darned good as well.)

5. Somehow I’ve hurt my shoulder.  It feels like a muscle issue, but I have no idea exactly what muscle.  What does that have to do with running? I’m pretty sure I did it carrying my handheld water bottle in the same hand for back to back long runs. Yeah, that’s how I roll – my only injuries this training cycle were a damaged knee from falling on it and my shoulder from carrying a water bottle. #notanormalrunner

I’m linking up with the lovely ladies of the DC Trifecta: Cynthia, Mar, and Courtney, and with Marcia for her runfession linkup.  Stop by their blogs for links to lots of fun reading!

    Taper and eating…I know the feeling. I don’t have my “A” race coming up until late June so I haven’t really been tapering yet this year. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I occasionally tweak my rhomboids which is more the upper back by the shoulder blade and then it hurts my neck. I can’t seem to pinpoint the cause but it is annoying. Hope that goes away soon!

    I think I’d have been dipping into the pizza in the car as well. How can you not? I recently realized I seem to run better with a fuel belt vs my handheld so I’ve gone back to using it. Crazy. Thanks for linking up and happy weekend!

    I can sympathize. My elbow is messed up. I feel it’s such an old lady injury. Blech. I love tuna but have never tried to cook it at home. It looks delicious. I’ve been very lazy with my cooking. The takeout pizza would be more my style right now.

    What the hell is wrong with me? I’m not tapering or anything but all I want to do is eat. And eat. And eat.

    Enjoy the taper!

      This recipe results in well done. It’s an awesome combo of flavors – I hadn’t made it in a while and had forgotten how good it was.

    I do exactly the same thing when it comes to taper time. I just lose the will to run and can justify it by telling myself that my legs need to rest up. It’s almost like if I don’t have over 10k to run it’s not worth getting out of bed.
