AM - Easy 6 miles with Sasha and Adam. Very easy mostly 8-9min pace but that is all I want to do this week anyway. As Paul mentioned in his blog that dang horse and his barnyard friends visited me as well but I am discovering that not only did they stomp all over my legs but they decieded to work on my neck, shoulder, head and right rib cage as well. It has been interesting because I am still discovering sore areas in my upper body from the wreck that I did not notice at first, such as my lower right rib cage. I am itching to get back to some serious training but I know I need to take it easy for a week or so until all of the soreness is gone. After that it is time to train again!

PM - 1 mile with Jared in 8:30, very painful and slow. Legs are still trashed.

No need to jump back into training so fast you got plenty of time. You need to just let your body fully heal before you jump back into some serious training. Very nice run this morning.

Glad to hear you are okay. And like I told Elizabeth thank heavens you did not have one of the kids with you. Your rib pain concerns us, you should have that check out. Make sure you did not crack or fracture any ribs. Take it easy this week.

Thanks Anne and ED. I am thinking about going to the doctor. We will see.
