Taper crazies.

Any one else tapering? 

I am exhausted. W.T.H. Also- these pains, from NO WHERE. MY KNEE? It's NEVER hurt. Also, my shin it was a little achey, yes, but it feels like someone took an axe to it... 

Oh, and because this makes sense, I'm already trying to figure out what to do next. What comes to my mind first? Triathlon. 

Why can't I just be. Just be still.

I'm not tapering right now, but I hear you on the bolded! I've never been able to just be still. My mother likes to tell me about how when I was a toddler I would wake up every morning and ask her what we were going to do that day, and that hasn't changed in the past 25+ years. I've just accepted it - I'd rather be happy moving than happy being sedentary!

I struggle intensely with the whole "be still" thing. Intensely.

Go have some wine and forget about the aches for a bit....

Thank goodness you are tired too. I thought it was just me.

LOL. Sounds about right. Hang in there. Next week will feel better. You're almost there!

I'm just so thankful I have you ladies to get me through this!

Tapering makes us weird. DH is so wired up when tapering that I kick him out of the room because I can't stand it!

This sounds normal. Achy and tired are all a part of the taper. Also over analyzing every little thing you feel in your body, obsessively checking the weather, and in general going stir crazy!
