Short Runs Rule

With only 8 days until The Pig, I have been enjoying much shorter runs in comparison to a few weeks ago.  I already feel like I'm regaining some energy and am keeping my fingers crossed that this down time will allow the last of my aches and pains to subside in preparation for the big day.  I plan on doing my last long run of 8 miles tomorrow morning, but today and yesterday, I enjoyed a 3- and 4-miler, respectively.
