I am going to take an extra rest day before the final mini block. I've been feeling a bit weak and tired (between but not during running) for a week now, and today I've had a stonking headache all day. Everyone seems to be fluey and ill around the lab, so a bit of extra rest won't do any harm. Feels rubbish to finally skive a day. It has gone very well since I started the new plan! But still, one day extra off is no great disaster.

Okay, so scrap that! Decided to run home to see if I could clear my head, as I was headachey and bleurgh, and actually felt great. Gorgeous night, clear and cold, and most of the pavements were actually clear - just a bit of ice running/skating when I got to East Rock. Head feels a bit better now so glad I went. Now to try and sort out this pie...
