Another cycle is done and I am ready for the taper. It's been an interesting cycle, especially compared to last year. 2014 was a year filled with PR's and breakthrough workouts. 2015 turned out to be more of a blue collar cycle. Work, work, work, and not a lot visible results. There was the back issue at the beginning of the cycle, an Achilles issue in the middle, some weird food poisoning thing in July, along with a whole host of work and personal related stress to pile on top. Don't get me wrong, this is not a "woe is me" post, as I still feel like I am at a pretty decent fitness level, but I have just felt a bit uninspired and fatigued and required a lot of perseverance and determination to get through the last 16 weeks. Let the taper work its magic and bring back some fire and energy.
There was some exciting news this week, as I got my official 2016 Boston Marathon registration confirmation! This will be first spring marathon in a couple of years and my first Boston of all time! Pretty darn excited!
Happy Running!
Rick
