Track and Field Blogs - David Flaugher

Some people refer to the last really long training run (in a marathon training cycle) as the Champage Run. You know, pop the cork on the bubbly to celebrate the last 20 miler. Today was a Champagne Run. But since I never really liked champagne anyway, it turned out to be a Chocolate Milk Run.

I dont really feel like celebrating anyway. I dont feel any real sense of accomplishment in completing anotherr training run. But it was a nice (if not a little too hot) day and there is something to be said for that! I dont look forward to tapers like some people do. Mentally I dont like the idea of backing off , but know its value. It is a little melancholy though. A little bit of "is that all ther is?" Hopefullly not.
