I am sitting here unshowered after logging my morning run because the hot water spigot is not giving me anything. Nada. Zip. Bad landlord, bad!

My personal strain of the taper virus has me all worried about pace, plus feeling crazy tired and not wanting to run. I cut 4 to 2 today. I am good at rationalization, ie, "With only 10 days to go, this run can't possibly have any training effect. I can slack off! I'm tapering!" However, those miles are inevitably run a bit too fast. Of those two, mile one was marathon pace and mile two was half marathon pace - without making any conscious effort to do so, but running easy, like a jog. WTF? I think I'm rested, thank you Mr. Taper.

Now, the hot water. Where is she? Mr. Taper, help! I am stinky!
