So far so good. Taper is going well. Finished cleaning my garage today with my extra time.  In the process of a new pain cave.

    Feeling better after running 60 minutes today, 1st run over 30 minutes in the last two weeks that didn't end with my left calf and ankle tightening up and getting sore. Starting to get on my families nerves though being around the house. Last week my wife asked me if I was going to do this "Ironman thing" or not since I've been home evenings.

    Great to hear on the soreness not being around. MY nerves are kicking in.

    Took yesterday off after my half-marathon Sunday (no new PR, but 2nd fastest time - and it helped to shake some racing rust off). Not too bad considering I busted up my toe pretty bad a little over a week ago. Also been fighting a lingering cough the last week, so frustrating.

    Hitting the swim today after work.

    My nerves are only kicking in because I have a IM-newbie friend who is asking me lots and lots of questions - to the point of annoyance!

    Some of the aches and pains from the build have been slowly feeling better from the reduced training volume. I'm trying to stay away from all the sick people around and trying not to over eat like I have gotten used. Getting a bit nervous as well. Mostly excited though.

    Felt the effects of last long run a bit longer than i would have hoped, but otherwise feeling good. Funny how we start to notice those small aches as pains as we get closer to race day though...

    Enjoying the taper...resting HR is in good form, clothing packed...now it's time to pace essentials...fuel, bottles etc...heading out to AZ on Friday!

    Still trying to figure out when I'm heading to AZ. I've got a cheap hotel room in El Paso for Wednesday, or I could just do the whole thing on Thursday (my original and probably still preferred plan).

    Feedback?

    @Andrew - I think you can get over it in time. Just rest like crazy.
