8 mile run this morning. My hips were sore over the weekend, I think from the speed I did on Saturday. Anyway, they didn't hurt this morning.
Did some push and sit ups, weights (went up 10 lbs on the biceps and triceps), hit the heavy bag as well. 1 hour and 45 minute workout this morning.

Tuesday night I was playing Basketball as I usually do. As always I'm a little hesitate, because it seems like I get hurt every now and again. I took a nasty elbow to the left side of my ribs. I was going up for a rebounds and someone was coming down. After it was all said and done, he said it felt like his elbow hand sunken about half way into my chest.
It hurt pretty bad. I don't really care about the pain. I'm just mad because of the set back to my training. Anyway, I'm done with basketball, it's not worth it!!!
It got up early this morning to see about putting in a run before work and my ribs hurt too bad. I hope they aren't broke!! I broke two ribs on my right side about 3 months ago!!
So I didn't run in the morning, but I ran tonight instead. I ran 8 mile at a 10 minute per mile pace, I pretty upset. I tried half a sit up and gave up. The push ups and heavy bad wasn't too bad. | | Add Comment |

| 8 miles this morning, felt pretty much the same as last night. Kind of hard to take a deep breath. I really had to slow it down. I did manage to run a little faster. My last two miles were 8 minute miles. Still not anywhere I should be. My ribs don't hurt as bad as they did when I broke then 3 months ago, so I'm optimistic about them healing faster this time around. | | Comments(1) |

8 miles this morning @ slower then you!
Yea, the ribs still hurt. I was however able to run the first mile at 9:15 instead of 10:00 like I've had to the last two days. By mile 4 I was up to 8:00 minute miles and keep that pace util I finished.
It's slow I know, but it's about all I can handle without having to take deep breaths, which hurt the ribs. The breathing was a little easier this morning, so I think they are starting to get better.
I did push ups, skipped the sits ups altogether. The weights didn't really seem to affect the ribs and the heavy bag I had to take kind of easy.
Don't count me out, I'll get back in it. | | Add Comment |

8 miles this morning. This first mile was at 9:13. The ribs were stretching out and it hurt to run any faster. By mile 3 I was running a 8 minute mile. I got it down to a 7 1/2 minute mile and the last mile sub 7 with the last 1/4 sub 6. Not impressive by any means, but the fastest sense the rib accident.
The breathing seems a little easier, but the first few are always painful. I just don't want to push too much. I need to heal right and not make it any worse.

Bumped up to 9 miles this morning. Not very much fun running in the wind and with cracked ribs. I was hoping I would feel a little better today, with not having ran Sunday. I didn't, it felt the same. It's been one day shy of a week sense I hurt my ribs and they still feel the same, which says to me it's probably more then bruised ribs.
Anyway, I'll keep trotting along at 10 minutes a mile. Did some push ups (they hurt), no sit ups! Hit the heavy bag and pushed some weights.
I'll be in SLC training with my department the rest of the week. I probably won't be back in Bullfrog or comment until Tuesday the 17th. | | Add Comment |

| 9 miles. I spoke with a doctor today who said running with cracked or broken ribs isn't going to make the problem any worse and that they will still heal. It's just a mater of pain management. Anyway, that made me feel better, so I'll keep running. | | Add Comment |

9 miles on the first day of spring. Slow and easy was the morning theme. The ribs actually didn't bother me this morning, hopefully a sign of things to come. I'm itching to start picking up the pace again.

9 miles to end the week. To bad I skipped a day this week. Now I can't ramp up to 10 a day next week. I'd better stay at 9 miles a day for one more complete week. I hate set backs.
On a better note. The ribs felt pretty good today. They are still tendor, but they didn't effect my push ups, runnings, weigts or heavy bag session. I'm still hesitante to do sit ups.
I think I'll bump up the speed a little next week. Breathing and pain doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. I think I'm healing. It well probably be a few more weeks before I'm completely healed, but at least I getting back after it again. 148 miles Vomero.

My ribs are feeling great. No pain during running, weights, heavy bag and I even did a few sits ups without much pain. I think I'll give it another week before I start the sit ups.
I was walking around at work yesterday and stepped funny, stretching my achilles tendon a little weird. It's sore, but didn't hurt or effect my 9 mile run this morning. If it's not one thing it's the other with me. I've never had this many injuries in such a short time frame. I must be getting older or something.

Another 9 miles this morning. I've been able to do 7:30 minute miles all week without any pain. The achilles still hurts but doesn't seem to be effecting my running. Did some push ups, weights and hit the heavy bag.

| 9 miles in Antimony, UT this morning. Spent the weekend at the in-laws. What a beautiful run. It was dang cold and the elevation about twice of what I'm used to, but the scenary was awesome. I ran into a bunch of deer, ducks, a red fox and peace and quite. A nice run and a good week and every day running!! The body is feeling pretty good as well. | | Add Comment |
