Rest days

So, after a promising start, I didn't manage any more runs at all last week and my one rest day turned into four. That said, there was nothing restful about helping to paint a house. My legs and arms are aching more now than the last time I did a 20k. Who'd have thought that brandishing a roller could take such a toll?! I very much doubt you'd find Paula Radcliffe ditching her training in favour of hanging off the scaffold of her brother's house. (If she has a brother? Don't know.) Anyway, that might be where I'm going wrong. Hopefully a gentle jog this afternoon will get me back on track.
