Taking no chances

I've had some discomfort in my lower back for a week or so and it felt as though it was worse this morning.  The 2.9k swim didn't hurt but all day I've been aware it's getting slightly worse.  So I've binned the 1hr 40 min run which is disappointing as I was looking forward to it and my running is slightly behind target.  I've booked a sports massage tomorrow to see if that will sort it and if not it's off to the chiropractor.
Over the years I have had various back problems but since my core and gym sessions started I haven't had as much as a twinge, until now.
So erring on the side of caution is my plan as I can't afford to aggravate my back - the consequences of missing a couple of sessions over hurting my back isn't a hard decision to make, although annoying as I feel great otherwise.
