Truth is Aron pointed me to your blog archive to check out your Pfitz tapering experiences.. I was saying that I feel Pfitz's taper isn't really much of a taper and she said that she felt she didn't taper enough last time and might cut out some of the runs in the last weeks... I see your less is more note re taper time and I'm going to plant that in my head - I will see how I feel but definitely want to feel fresh on race day. I've worked so hard the last thing I want is to overdo it.. So thanks for posting your thoughts and experiences - they really help!Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-42287702676602276472008-11-19T05:52:00.000-08:002008-11-19T05:52:00.000-08:00Nice 50 mile week Jen - well done.

Way to knock out that 20-miler and I'm glad it was a pain-free and awesome run! <BR/><BR/>Choc Mint is one of my faves too, but I absolutely hate Vanilla Bean. I can handle any of the fruit flavors or chocolate but that Vanilla Bean gets my gag reflux going! YICK! <BR/><BR/>Please post on your taper if you think of it- I need to hear what you do (don't do) and stuff so I can learn!<BR/><BR/>KelsalynnSavvyFitChicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411757549007399118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-89089392027614193832008-11-17T19:46:00.000-08:002008-11-17T19:46:00.000-08:00Congrats on your speedy 20 miler!

I watched SNL straight from age 7 on so I remember all of those random ones from the 80s. Remember the Sweeney Sisters and their duet medleys? Those were my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, back to running. GREAT job, am very very excited for you and the upcoming RACE.
