Tapering should be easy?

Tapering for Indianapolis started last week. Monday: 2 mile easy run, Tuesday: Core X-training, Wed: 8 mile speedwork, Thursday/Friday: Rest, Saturday: 12 mile long run, Sunday: Rest.

Thursday/Friday was also Brennen's sleep study, so I didn't get much sleep Thursday night.

By Saturday afternoon I was exhausted and achy and just wanted to sleep. Feel much better now, but have realized that my body needs a while to recover the training.

I have been following the Indianapolis weather forecast very closely, and have been concerned about the heat wave. Hopefully, the predicted cooler weather will happen. I feel for all the folks that got sick, or worse, running in Chicago yesterday.
