It has been a less than stellar six weeks of training since the marathon. I started back just as I wanted to the week following the marathon, even though the coming week was Thanksgiving week and we were out of town. It was at the tail end of that week that I hurt my back from too much driving and trying to run with a sorta hurting back. That run felt good, but my back did not for over a week after that.
The setback of being hurt so soon after the marathon, and the holidays being upon us sent me down the same path I went last year following my first marathon. I have had some decent running, but have not run too many days in a row before this week because I didn't want to run the risk of re-injury. The fear of re-injury has also kept my long runs somewhat.... how should I say it..... short.
