My harried weekend being over, I have returned to work to get some much-needed psychological rest. With my race just a week away, I've promised myself some treats this week. Namely:

• to be in bed by 10:30 pm every night (which I am loving, by the way)
  
• to continue to drink lots of water all day
  
• medium-sized workouts with fast intervals and plenty o' rest in between repetitions
  
• a back and leg massage, which I just returned from (heavenly!)

I'm feeling good already, including a renewed sense of playfulness and energy with which to do so. As you might expect, the urge will only get worse as the week gains momentum. I hope I can keep a lid on it until Sunday.
