Raindrops are falling on my head...

Strange wet stuff has been falling from the sky all day today so it's been a perfect day for a rest day. No niggles from my ITB today (even when walking down stairs) - but that doesn't really mean anything cause the only time it's been a problem in the last 10 days is when running.... Apart from lots of TLC for my ITB, it's the perfect weather for a rest day - I've spent most of it curled up on the couch reading Paula Radcliffe's autobio. Although written (as you would expect) for the general public rather than being targeted at the running community, it is a fascinating insight into an incredible athlete. Quote for the day: your performance reveals your attitude as much as your talent. I like that.

Week in review - a strange week; Operation 21/31 was kicked off; work was a little unsettled and my ITB has been teasing me
Weights - 3 (including Satan x 2)
Walk - 1 (1 hr)
Spin - 2
Run - 1 (20mins)
Physio - 1
Witchdoctor - 1

The week ahead: the 10% rule is going to broken again - sorry running Buddha...
Monday: run at lunch with Lil Elf
Tuesday: AM walk to work (1 hour) + PM massage
Wednesday: AM pilates + PM Satan
Thursday: AM run (dependent upon how ITB goes on Monday) + PM Satan
Friday: Spin (one class only; my quads were dead after Friday's double classes)
Saturday: rest
Sunday: Blackmores 9kms

I'm a bit with Dave from the conversation last night - not sure if it really is an ITB problem or just an other type of knee strain? Glad to know it sounds like its sort of under control though.

Say hi to elfy for me at lunch :) What race have you two picked out?
