I'm not following the Boulder plan everyone else is on this week due to the Grasslands race on Saturday morning. Jeff put me on a little bit of a taper for my legs this week. Instead of speed work, I ran around 5.5 miles at half marathon pace for the most part. Started a little slow to warm up on the first mile but finished at a decent sustainable pace for a half distance race. All of those miles were in the low 9s which would translate to a very good result for me. Of course, Grasslands is usually home to a North Texas weather event on trails which is highly unpredictable. So far the forecast is good so I feel good about the race this week.

Monday, I gave the legs a rest from impact and only swam. It was 2700 yards but had a lot of kickboard which is good for strengthening the legs but takes a lot out of you. A little fatigued from the weekend but covered the distance without much issue.
