Boston Training - 'Week Six' Write-Up And 'Week Seven' Look-Ahead

This week didn't go as planned. A minor niggle the other week developed into a major pain in the ass back this week, which kept me home from work one day and away from running the rest of the week.

In the big picture this is more of a minor irritation than a major mishap. I should be back at it in the next couple of days. My back still feels stiff so I'll give it until tomorrow then I'll be back givin'er.

The injury has forced one upcoming change - I had planned on racing the Robbie Burns 8k on January 27. I don't think that's a good idea right now, so I'm replacing that in my schedule with a 22km steady run next Sunday instead. That may change (depending on how I feel in the next few days), but for now that's my plan.

Good to see you have a plan but more importantly that you're willing to change it.
