TAPER MADNESS?!?!
Is it weird that my race is on Sunday and I haven't really had any taper madness? Maybe it is because I had madness over getting into Boston or not. Anyone else get the "Madness" in my absence?

Nick, no real madness here either. Too much going on with work and adjusting to new life, I guess. Also, I think we're both running pretty low stakes races, right?
Re: TAPER MADNESS?!?!
Mike is probably on to something there. No PR or BQ at stake for either of you, so the level of anxiety/excitement is probably a bit lower than in previous races. I've experienced the same things in my last couple marathons when I wasn't shooting for anything in particular other than running a solid race.

That's definitely the case with me. I really need that goal to get me fired up.

Re: TAPER MADNESS?!?!
Last night I dreamed about the race starting but I didn't have my packet (or bib or chip). Then I lost my place on the course. Then my little boys were just there on the course without my parents watching them so I had to run with them in my arms. Yep, I'm tapering and have checked the 10 day forecast about 8 times in the last 3 days. So yes, I am tapering for you.

Julie has enough to worry about without handling everyone's taper madness for them! You guys need to carry your weight!

Nancy underestimates my ability to worry. I can worry about lots of things at once! Quite talented in that dept.

Is that a mom thing?

I feel old suddenly, but I'd say yes and no. Moms are good worriers but I was really good at it long before having kids.
