Pre-Taper = Happy Schnauzer

We have only one more long run until the National Marathon and then we begin to taper. 

Tapering involves lowering our mileage and resting up before the marathon.  The good news is that I really appreciate any extra sleep or time I can get but the bad news is that I am now geared to run.  Already our weekly mileage is beginning to drop and I find myself a little confused by having spare time.  So if you see a somewhat fidgety guy with gray in Southeast Michigan then it's probably me.  I guess this week is our “pre-taper”. 

I have to say that the schnauzer is pretty happy with this situation because I’m starting to spend my newly found free time walking her.  The poor pooch has been way under walked and probably a little overfed this winter - until this week.  

The colder months find Roxy sleeping in various configurations throughout the house.

She's not completely unmotivated because even when she's sleeping  she has goals.

However I have to say that Roxy is finding the fresh air and exercise more to her liking.
