First Week of 2014

Well this week didn't go over very well.  I really injured my low back during my fall on Chestnut Ridge.  I tried to do some running this week but the pain and muscle strain got worse with each effort.
12/31/13 - Ran the 4 & 6 mile loops for 8.15 miles total.
1/1/14 - Ran the 6 mile graveyard loop and then went on a 13.25 mile bike ride up Roselawn, Sugarloaf, keagy and back.
1/2/14 - Timed the Resolution Run and opted to not exercise.
1/3/14 - Ran 6.2 miles marking the Chestnut Ridge Loop for the FT
1/4/14 - 5.7 miles running on the trails of Fishburn Park.  After this run my sacrum was on fire and I regretted not taking more time off to let this injury heal.
26.05 miles running and 13.25 cycling

I'm going to take some time off this week to see if I can participate in any of the Willis River 35/50k on 1/11/14.  I've enjoyed this race over the last few years and have done well.  I was hoping to attempt running sub 4:30.  Now I'm not sure I will even race or run it at all.
