I probably shouldn’t call my vacation in Grand Cayman “taper time,” seeing as how I had been ramping up my training and sandwiching that particular weekend with big races. Nevertheless, I had planned on taking it easy that weekend with only short runs, thus leading to my “taper time” verbiage.
Several days after the Vail Pass Half Marathon (which I recovered really well from, surprisingly), my Mom and I headed out to Grand Cayman for a work-rewarded trip (thanks Mom!). We arrived on the island on Wednesday afternoon and were immediately spoiled with an amazing room at the Ritz Carlton and a welcome dinner on-site.
Celebratory drinks upon arrival!
I thought this was SO cute – shoe valet!
