I kind of knew that at some point in this marathon training schedule I'd deal with some sort of injury. I have a knack of pushing it too hard and hurting myself. I just didn't think it would happen this early... Ironically it wasn't even a running injury that has sidelined me this week, but a moving one. I must have lifted one too many heavy boxes on Tuesday moving from my storage unit into the new house and my back went out. The last 3 days have been a steady regimen of heat packs, icy hot and Advil.
I feel like an old man in the mornings, barely able to roll out of bed, but the back loosens up towards the afternoon to the point that I probably could run if I needed to. However, I've made the decision to scrap this week and make sure this back doesn't turn into a larger problem. Luckily I'm early enough in the training schedule that this shouldn't set me back too much and I can let my back fully heal.
Hopefully I'll be back on schedule next week!
