Quiet week

Running:
It's been a quiet week.  This will be just a short recap entry.  I have been tapering this week as if I will run the Trailbreaker Marathon on 3/27.  I likely will not sign up until the last day of online signup which is 3/24 I believe.  3/25 will be the anniversary of when I had the stress fracture last year.  I've been taking steps to avoid it, but it's the exact timing of when it occurred last year.  That is, while in the taper for running in this marathon.  My runs this week so far have all been 5 miles in length and all during my lunch break at work. 
It was great to have the weather warm a bit and actually be able to run in shorts a couple times.  Monday was my usual no running day.  As usual did weights, some bike, core work, and stretching.  Tuesday my run took me 40:12, Wednesday 38:50, and Thursday 38:45.  So for the week only 15 miles.  Somewhere around 40 for this week is the plan.  Today will likely be 5 again, 12 to 14 Saturday, and another 6 or so Sunday.   

Gardening:
Been getting an hour or so each day to rake the lawn a bit.  All the snow this winter really matted down the grass, and the last spots with snow have a bit of mold.  It's always good to lift the grass in these spots to get some air flow.  Seems early, but my tractor will be coming back next week from the winter storage program.
