Today I decided to forgo a shorter long run (tapering) for a stair run with the Towpath Turtles. We met at the William McKinley Monument in Canton to run the steps. I first did this workout with the Turtles two years ago, and I love it now. Notice I said NOW. I remember arriving in parking lot to see this:

First we warmed up with a two-mile run. As we ran, I told the new Turtles that if I could enjoy this workout, anyone can. It's the pain I feel a few days later that I don't enjoy. I figured that I could do lots of yoga this week to recover, and I can shake out the legs with two short runs before the Medina Half Marathon on Saturday.
