Felt a slight illness coming on, so instead of running long like I had planned, I ran an easy 4 miles. Later in the day the weak feeling I had disappeared.
A couple of days ago I woke up with a sore right shoulder. I am having trouble lifting my arm and reaching behind me. It seems to be under the muscle area, so it may be a strained rotator cuff (I run 50 mile races with no ill effect, but injure myself while asleep in bed? :) ).
Not sure how long this will take to heal, but at least it is not a leg injury. I am having trouble doing my normal routine of strength exercises. Dips are the hardest to do right now. I usually have good mobility and can lower myself to full extension. Now with the sore shoulder the first few tries I lower myself a couple of inches and then have to rest, but the next few reps I can get past the initial lock up and lower myself to full extension. The plan to heal the shoulder is to rebuild the strength through the exercises and running. |
