countdown

With 1 week to go, I guess I've managed enough work to run a decent 20k. The past 2 weeks seem to have been more recovery than anything. But with the long runs and the sleep problems combined I think rest was the only sensible option. I did have a spirited track work-out on Thursday which is encouraging whether it translates to a strong 20k or not.

I've started myself back on 1/3 of a dose of amitriptyline and my sleep has improved. The piercing head pains have diminished and I'm feeling refreshed when I wake up.
The only downside thus far (3 days into dosage) is restless legs for a couple of hours in the evening.
