Taper Madness


It's less than a week before the race, and it happens every time. Sometimes it holds itself off until I'm actually at the starting line. But it's already started.

The self doubt. The amnesia. The anxiety.

Have I done the work? Has my fitness survived the last two weeks? What's with this new ache, this new pain? Is that a rash? Why does my head hurt? I just sneezed. I'm a little warm; could it be a fever? I'm a little cold; could it be a fever?

To Hell with the saying, "strong like bull" It needs to be, "STRONG like woman!!!!!!"
