5 miles this morning, and first time running since Wednesday. Weird to have such a layoff. It hurt as I bruised my tailbone on Saturday trying to do a cannonball into a river that I thought was 3 feet deep but was only about 3 inches deep, and landed straight on a rock with my tailbone. Ouch. It could have been much worse as it doesn't hurt to sit, but definitely a strained muscle. Running this morning was uncomfortable at times but not painful so I continued and it warmed up so I was fine. Not sure I can do the full 44 miles this week that my plan calls for, but I'll do as many as I can.

Don't kill yourself to stick to the plan. You've got 9 more weeks. One off week isn't going to throw off all the work you've already done, and the work remaining. Get healed up so you can make the remaining time count.

Thanks Kam - great advice. That confirms that I was on the right track by skipping today's run. Should've done 8 but I was tired and my butt was sore last night when I lifted heavy things. I don't think I'll get out for any sort of run today, so I should've done at least 3 this morning. Oh well - will do another 5 tomorrow.
