What's worse the taper or the recovery?

Man I'm bored. I'm all keyed up and ready to jump back into training and The mean (though very correct) coach that Greg won't let me! That's not entirely true, he'll let me train just not do the hill repeats I want and instead wants me to take it easy. Stupid Coach being all knowing and smart and stufff.

I don't think he understands how difficult take it easy is to me. Fortunately I do have several things to keep me occupied.

1. Jazz Festival tonight - I'm going to check out the Pink Martini's
2. Drinks with friends before I leave the city tomorrow night. Yes Greg, we're going back to 1410 the land of pink beer. Though this time I'm in the mood for Hoogaarden where the glass is the size of my head!
3. Quick lunch hour run with my favourite pacer before departing for Fernie for the loooooooooong weekend. I'm taking Monday off too so 4.5 days off baby!
The weather looks something like this

Saturday Really Hot
Sunday Flippin' Hot
