Thanks Giving Point loop with Matt, Chad, Reed, Jeff and Scott. Felt tired! Matt says that's ok. I hope he's not just saying that.

It's OK. How you feel over the next couple days has about zero percent correlation with how you'll run on Saturday. The body of work over the last couple months is what counts.

Yeah it's fine if you feel crappy today and the rest of the week even, as long as you feel good on Saturday.

I felt like crap all week leading up to the TOU Half and I had a huge PR that day. So I wouldn't stress it. It's actually quite common during a taper to feel tired/sluggish.

If you feel like trash it means taper is working :). You're ready Mike! No doubt!
