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.

8 miles on the road. A very nice day this morning. Ran in shorts and a t-shirt!!

60 miles Vomero.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.
