I have worried that I might get sick too from pushing myself so hard but it has yet to happen (dang it ;-) Instead, I keep waddling along ...<br /><br />But, the important thing is that you made it to taper time and perhaps taking a week off was as important to you physically as it was mentally. <br /><br />Good luck on your race, Stef. Don't underestimate the power of all that you've done.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37216864.post-86719622494783163402009-08-05T17:51:32.362-07:002009-08-05T17:51:32.362-07:00I know how you feel.
