Swim: ~2000
Bike: 1 hour
Run: 19 miles
This is my last full training week before the taper next week and I can't get through these workouts fast enough. Well, it hasn't actually been a "full" training week since it will be a one swim week. I missed Tuesday's swim class to attend a school function for one of the kiddos. Come to think of it, I did cut my interval run short this week, too. Okay, maybe it's not a "full" training week" but it's also not a taper week either. I'm almost there though. Today is a not-so-fun tempo, tomorrow will be a bike/run brick workout and then Saturday begins my official taper with a short 8 mile run.
Update:
After that entry, things got crazeeee at work. I missed my Wednesday and Friday workouts which killed my bike training. It was such a whirlwind, I'm not sure if I even remember all the training details but here goes...
Tuesday
Interval run: 5 miles
Wednesday

Thursday

Saturday
Run: 8 miles @ 8:50
Whew, this run kicked my butt! I guess I thought it was only 8 miles so it would be no big deal. I thought wrong. It was hot and humid but it was actually cooler to keep running. We stopped for 5 water breaks and each time it felt like the humidity was swallowing me. Our water stops were a little longer than usual but since our pace was a little quicker than usual, I welcomed the break.
Sunday
I Love Mother's Day 5k - race report coming soon...

Sounds like a forced taper before the actual taper. I'd for sure be losing my mind...as I am right now with tapering. I can't stand having to holding back/reel myself in. But, I know it's the right thing to do. You should be well rested and ready to crank it next week. I'm sure you'll be posting again before then but good luck wrapping up all of the training.
