New Year of Running - 1/1/11 - 1/15/11

They x-rayed my chest at the ER and didn't find anything. There's really no pain, nothing feels out of place; it only bothers me when I run, but that's the only thing I've been doing that makes me breathe hard, so I don't have a good sense whether it's the abdominal muscles or the respiratory system that's bothering it.

It'll heal. Everything else is ... it's just taking time.

Oh, Oak. Duh me. I forgot about your fall.
My friend broke some ribs earlier this year and the docs told her to do deep breathing exercises so she wouldn't develop pneumonia.

5 mile tempo run. Kind of. The roads are pretty slick, so not as much tempo as I had planned.

3.7 for me today and my chest feels much, much better. I had a lot of fatigue in the upper abdominal muscles, but I'll take that.

Running is on hold. I'm definitely having a flare up of whatever no one can figure out I have. I had a slight sinus thing, and I think impact stuff like running just exacerbates my physical weirdness things. Not giving up yet. I started feeling much better this afternoon, but I even stayed off of the treadmill and trainer. I have a tough interval workout on the trainer tomorrow. Hope to get back to running by the end of next week.
But, on the way home, I saw a guy running up Strawberry Hill Rd, right at the narrow curve in the road. He was dressed in all black, no lights or reflective gear, running with the traffic. Oy. It's the second time I've seen him. Guess he has a death wish to do this on a narrow, country road with tons of rush hour, cut through traffic. I went for a walk yesterday at around the same time and had my head lamp on, just in my neighborhood.
