marathon "planning"

I've written about tapering before and how it's always an adventure. I'm recycling this post from an email with my pal, who coincidentally is tapering herself. Big shout out to all my marathon runners.

I forgot you were tapering too. Tapering is so my nightmare. Hubby hasn't been bad this time around. He actually got to me in the end of the hard miles. He was just so tired all the time. Couldn't stay awake at any time of the day and I never saw him cuz he was always running. Right now I'm just dealing with obsessive "planning" Hubby. I use the term "planning" loosely.

Hubby: "I need more carbs."
Haddy: "Then why did you eat an entire chicken?"
Hubby: "I don't know."

Hubby: "Will you help me eat well this week?"
Haddy: "Absolutely. What do you need to eat? What kind of meals do you want?"
Hubby: "Pasta. And I'm going to buy a bunch of chicken."
Haddy: "Ok, but I think you might get a little sick of chicken and pasta by the end of the week."
Hubby: "You're right."
Haddy: "So what else would you like?"
Hubby: "I don't know."

I can't wait until we start talking about what shoes he's going to wear.
