Today I started a new journey in my life with a new job. I'm glad this is happening on race week rather than the middle of training. When that alarm went off an hour earlier than usual, I was dragging this morning. It was a usual planned day off a full run, but I still stumbled to a walk and short jog with my dog. He looked very pleased afterward.
Anyway, with the start of a new job, it's easy to get distracted from running until I get into a normal routine. That's a good thing this week. I'll work my mileage in at various points, but it gives me a chance to rest my legs without thinking about it. I was feeling sluggish during yesterday's short run. Before I know it, I'll be at the beach and it'll be race day. I don't have to time to think about it until late Friday evening.

Hope everything works out with the new job! The week is going to fly. You are going to have a great run and lots of fun this weekend.
Congratulations on the new job! Yes, its a change, but I'm sure you'll settle into the routine soon.... and yep, all the adjustments will help avoid the dreaded "taper madness", lol.
