You are totally in my head with this one. Dark side has been inside of tax season before... and light side is impossible. This was the one year chance for anyone who enjoys the 80 hour tax weeks and no life through April 15. Im just hoping it will keep my motivated, because its hard to find time to run when life is work full speed and crash hard.
When I went out for my 8 mile run last Saturday, I thought to myself, "8 miles aren't going to run themselves and tax returns aren't going to prepare themselves either. Such is the price to pay for running a half days after the deadline." After using 2016 as a mock training run to see just what training for a race in tax season and running one days after the deadline and then spending 2017 in training for the real thing, I was looking forward to a training free tax season. Until I convinced myself that I don't know when future Dark Side weekends will take place as they could fall before or on the deadline itself. So here I am training again. For Star Wars races, I will do it.
