Any injuries or problems? No. Actually, I have made it this far without an injury. First time that's happened in a marathon training cycle.
Highlights from last week? Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. Just sticking to my training plan.
Have you experienced taper madness? How do you deal with it? Other than wanting to run more and eat everything that isn't nailed down, I actually like taper. You have to trust that you have done the hard work already. Rest up and get ready to put the icing on your cake, er, race.
