This morning I ran in the local Heights 5k. It wasn’t even in my calendar for a race, but I added it at the last minute because a friend invited me down there. I didn’t do much in the way of a taper – I only swam yesterday (including a time trial 100 freestyle in 1:14) and did not run, and I altered the Thursday workout. I was especially pleased that I took 44 seconds off my best time in years. Houston is starting to get hot and humid.
