This has made my regular running schedule a near impossibility. This comes on the heels of a soft-tissue injury to my lower right ribs - a vestige of my difficult pregnancy and an injury that has been re-awakened most likely by over-training.
I have been running three time a week , training on a rebounder twice a week , taking Pilates and a yoga class and resting one day where if i do anything it is a simple walk . Some of my workouts are more vigorous than others and i have started using weights in my workout and i fear this is what injured me. I have great muscle weakness in my upper body and my form suffers . It is easy to pull something if one isn't careful.
Oops.
Anyway , this injury is supremely painful and has rendered me virtually useless. I can't laugh or cough or pick up my son without feeling a painful twinge and a reminder that i need to rest it for it to heal.
So , it feels better this week but i have lost my drive and ambition along with the pain. You see , this is a curse of mine - if i slack off even a bit i lose my momentum . I need a good kick in the rear to get started again .
Any takers ?
