Counting down

Ten days until the Olympic marathong trials in Houston. ... I'm in my taper now, meaning my toughest workouts are behind me. As they say, the money is in the bank, the hay is in the barn. There is nothing I can do now that will help me in the race except relax and know I have done all I can do. Though I can sense my family and friends are getting nervous, I am usually not too nervous until just before the starting gun goes off.
