Even after 7.5hours sleep (which is unusually high for me), I woke up this morning feel shattered. I had planned to go for a swim - even put my cozzie & clothes on and picked up my bag, and then sat back down on the couch and didn't move for 20mins. In the end, I did 40mins of stretching and pilates instead. Off to see the physio at lunch; otherwise its a rest day :-) :-)
V. happy to report that the ITB is fine today :-) (though left hip is a bit of a worry...)
Big weekend ahead - easy lap of the Bay tomorrow morning with a friend, a hen's night tomorrow night and then 1hr 40mins around the Eastern Suburbs, most of which with Lulu, on Sunday morning.
Edit: oh, ITBs - don't you just love them? It looks like the tenderness in my left hip is at the ITB insertion point and has probably been caused by the adjustment made to my orthotics. Off to get the ice pack..

I hear you sister - felt a bit that way myself this morning.
An hour and forty after a hens night should be fun :-)
Sounds like a rest day will be just the tonic! Good luck for your Sunday run matey.
Great to hear the ITB feels good after the non-taped run. Take care with the hip though.
Have a great run with Lulu!!
*hugs* good the ITB is getting better.... rest day sounds like a plan :)
Blimey if it's not one end of an ITB it's the other. Get the tennis ball in there as well. I've worked out an angle for massaging the ITB insertion point with the tennis ball and it seems to like it.. I should warn you.. it hurts a bit..
PS if the hen night kicks off you can always do an Uncle dave and just come straight to the park :)
I've had mornings or afternoons like that Jen, though I end up just staying on the coach. But on the positive side I've discovered its possible to do glute stretches without leaving said coach.
Lack of energy happens to all of us from time to time but, after over sleeping it is normal. It gets you like slower.
Maybe in your mind you think you have all those km behind and think you deserve some rest... it happened to me.
Hope you feel better this morning Jen. Enjoy your run and your hens night.
It's a rollercoaster for some of us, eh Jen ? Enjoy you rest. :)
