Six Foot Taper time

We are now well and truly into the taper for the six foot track next Saturday. This is the time that I start to get a little antsy as I won’t be training as hard and will be looking to rest up and eat well and also stay away from all sorts of snivelling people who may infect one with the dreaded lergy. It is also the good time that we all enjoy in terms of having time to do other things like mow the lawn, read books, strategise and plan for the future and reflect in meditation and quiet time on what it is that we are about to complete. It is also the time to do the things that we have been putting off like cleaning out some of the cupboards and donating things to charity and realising that there are other people out there in society that could benefit from things that we take for granted and then throw away. I did a bit of this this morning after my morning jog and it felt really good to be free of some clutter and also helping out others in the process. Taper time means extra personal time.
