9 miles in 7:47 pace Nice recovery run. Legs pretty tired. Weather was a little warmer this morning and I came home very thirsty. As I was guzzling a large glass of water the strangest thing happened. I was lifting the glass with my right arm and must have twisted it in an unusual way at the same time as having some unusual muscle spasm (maybe caused by being dehydrated) because I'm not kidding you, my right shoulder suddenly dislocated. Now, I know I am a "chronic dislocator" and all but seriously?!?!?! Drinking water!?!! That is BY FAR the most ridiculously SIMPLE activity that has ever dislocated my shoulder. Its not like I even put any muscle power into it. I was just lifting my arm in a completely normal way the same way I do fifty times every day. But today that shoulder seemed to have a mind of its own and decided to revolt against completely normal activity. So there I am standing in my living room, arm suspended in mid air unable to move, half glass of water in my hand while I moan in pain. My girls wondering, "Whats wrong, Mommy?" So I did what I always do when this happens. I leaned forward, (dropping my glass of water on the carpet) grabbed my right hand with my left, and pulled it down and over. Sure enough, the shoulder slipped right back in and I just had to lay down for a minute to relieve the dizzy feeling that ensued. Strange. Very Strange. And now I have that weak, stretched out feeling in my shoulder again and can't really do much strength work for a week or so. At least my legs and lungs still work properly. |
