Now the taper begins

After todays 21 miler, the weekly mileage totals will start to come down a little every week until the race, which is only 4 weeks away.
My legs felt really good today, no soreness from yesterdays effort. Looking back to the first 20 miler in early Feb. and comparing to today, I was able to run one mile further today, and the overall time was a minute faster. Good progress. I did my first 7 mile loop up to Spring lake beach and back, then another 7 mile loop up around Squan beach front, and the final 7 out and back on the bike path. Felt really good throughout, 21 miles in 2:41, which is about 7:40 pace.
Total for the week = 51
for the year = 635
