133 Days - Bad Day & Bad Back

Today hasnt been a good day.

My business has gone into liquidation and to cap it off I have hurt my back today. The recession has finally nailed the coffin shut on my business and 12 jobs. Its been very hard the last 18 months and has been a major pressure in my life. Running has helped me get away from that pressure. I do feel a huge weight off my shoulders right now.
As part of the shut down I had to collect a digger from a site near Bury and have pulled my back quite bad when trying to move the trailer by hand. I hurt my back when playing rugby many years ago, and it feels like the same injury. There is a lateral shift in my lower spine which means that there is a visible twist when looking in a mirror. I can't remember if it is something that "pops" back in quickly or takes ages to put right.

Dont think I will be able to run tomorrow even thought the thaw is setting in so will probably go to gym and sit on exercise bike.

With only 133 days to go I really dont need a break from training but I am sure that it will be ok.

Oh and the goldfish died last night (5 yrs old) ...................

    Try an osteopath to get your spinal alignment corrected.

    Do you need support for your BGR attempt?
