4/3/16 to 4/9/16: Not Quite Taper Time

I think Jon Waldron did a better job of describing the start to this week than I ever could.

This week was interesting...I felt tired, but increasingly I had more energy thanks to five and six mile morning commutes and evening runs that were extended by running to the grocery store.  I ended up hitting 100 mainly because I like round numbers, and this marks 14 weeks in a row of 100+ miles per week.  I'm certainly a believer in the mileage with my fitness where its at, and hopefully after Boston, I'm able to quickly recover and get back into the swing of things.

Ok, here it is:
