Totals 8/29/10-9/4/10

So the 2nd week of taper was interesting. The volume is way down this week, but there were some pretty high intensity workouts mixed in. I ran before work on Thursday, it was dark, and I stepped on a curb awkwardly and twisted my ankle. It's been sore ever since, and the one time I ran on it was pretty unpleasant. I'm shutting it down (running at least) until the race, so hopefully I get healed up. An awesome massage did help it out a lot, so I think it'll be great. Other than that, I've been feeling great, rested, calm, and at peace. It's a good feeling and I think I just know that I've controlled most everything I can control to have a great race, so now what happens happens.
