4 miles easy with Dave and Jason down by the Mesa Riverview, while the family played at the Riverview Park. Feeling the typical taper fatigue and a little knee soreness, but otherwise I feel ok. I think my energy levels are at 95%, so hopefully by the time the race comes the shingles will not have even been a factor. The forecast calls for rain and wind from the South, which would be some headwind and some cross wind, but certainly not a favorable wind.

Good luck Riley. You have been through about every racing trial and this may be another bump in the road but you are setting yourself up for something special. Looking forward to the Phoenix report and the apex of this journey wherever it is.
