Let’s call today’s blog an ‘intermission’ blog.  Yes, with countdown to only 5 days away to the half marathon run, there is a lot of rest and relaxation going on in between the tapering activity so an intermission seems to make sense in many ways.  In fact today’s writing is going to be a bit shorter than usual, so similarly a bit of a writing intermission or pause is taking place also.

However, before ending today's blog before it begins, an update on the 8-mile run 'discussed' in last week’s blog must be shared.  Well it happened, smack in-between the taper weeks, that 8-mile run was accomplished.  EndorphinGirl™ and Endorphin Daughter did the beautiful 8-mile run last Saturday morning at the track by the river.  The pace was steady and while not EndorphinGirl™’s PR it was a great training run and endorphin-motivator and endorphin-enhancer.  EndorphinDaughter was kind enough to do the same PR as her endorphin mother which allowed for excellent been-away-at-college-catchup conversation during the entire run; this made the run truly feel like a breeze.

It’s now quiet in the Endorphin household.  Aside from her tapering activity and other stuff she does during a day, both EndorphinGirl™ and daughter are mostly found this week in comfy ware, eating carb-related products, and injecting plenty of TLC to the body; this will happen up until run day.  While all activity can’t stop otherwise the endorphins might take an intermission too, the mix of the aforementioned are quite enjoyable, especially the carb diet!

Today’s drawing is courtesy of EndorphinGirl™’s son; she is air sleeping, floating, in an endorphin-zen state, perhaps 'shavasana-ing'.  Bloggee, you decide!

Intermisison must now officially begin, but first guest comments always welcome in guestbook and until next time keep on endorphin’.
