Peaking

If you are an athlete, especially and endurance athlete, you know what it means to be "peaking." I'm there. Tough part is not doing too much before taper. I've made that mistake before. I won't repeat it. I had a solid track workout tonight after smashing out a solid 4k in the pool this morning. I have a decent weekend scheduled, but nothing over the top. I will enter into taper next week. Because I'm still over 3 months out from Canada, I'm primarily going to be racing on base miles with one training block that included more intervals. That being said, I'm there. Not where I will be in 3 months, but where I wanted to be for this upcoming race. I had a smile on my face all day. Time to get some rest. I've been battling a cold I picked up Monday so today was my first outdoor workout. I've been sleeping a ton and avoiding the outdoors as much as possible as it has been cold and rainy. I'm feeling near 100% today and as I mentioned earlier, I'm definitely peaking from a fitness perspective. It's a great feeling. Thanks for reading,
