Rest and Recovery

Mother's Day weekend was supposed to be my rest days. I didn't run, but I did a lot of yard work. All that digging, pulling, lifting, and pushing left me very, very tired and sore. So sore, that when I'd breathe, cough, or sneeze I'd get a sharp, stabbing pain in my back that radiated around my left ribs. I spoke with a friend who is a physical therapist, and she thinks I pulled a rib muscle. (I thought I was going to die, and I've got a pretty high pain tolerance.) So, while I've kept up with my running, I did skip the weight lifting class and the blogging. I've also laid off the yard work. Thankfully, it has started to feel better...just in time for the 10 miler tomorrow.

Miles this week: M=5; W=3.4; F=2.4
