Run 130510

Ran 3.21 in 21:33 (6:43) pace.  First mile was slow but then was able to pick it up.  So far leg is holding up so maybe able to move up to 4 miles next week.  As far as chest goes it is still sore but I am able to do pull-ups again - stll no push-ups

Run 130506

Longest run in months - 3.25 miles  in 22:30 (6:50) pace.  Felt tired for the first mile and then started to get into a groove.

Run 130501

Ran 2 miles in 12:30 in 6:15.  Leg and chest are feeling better but still not up for pull-ups or push-ups.

Spin 130430

Rode Trainer for 45 min.

Typical 5 Min warm up, followed by 35 min of varying work, and 5 min cool down.

After a week of no activity and consistent anti-inflammatory I appear to be on the mend.  I haven't resume push-ups and pull-ups but breathing isn't as painful so I can at least bike and hopefully run on Friday.

Injury

After visiting the doctor, getting EKG and chest x-ray it has been ruled either inflamed cartilage or chest wall. Doctor couldn't believe my heart rate which is why I think he wanted an EKG.  I need to continue to take it easy and keep up with Ibuprofen.

My hip heals and now I can't breathe.  This has been a rough early season.

Spin 130423

Rode Trainer for 30 min.

Typical 5 Min warm up, followed by 20 min of varying work, and 5 min cool down.

Suffering from a chest injury that I don't know the cause of.  I began to notice on my run yesterday and it got worse today.  At this point I am stuck with shallow breathing because when I take deep breath it feels like someone is stabbing me ( on the right side, otherwise I would be in getting my heard checked)

Run 130422

Ran 2 mile course at 6:30 pace, hip felt good but had chest pain on the right side when breathing heavy.

Bike 130421

Rode 31.48 miles in 1:52:23 16.8mph.  Slower ride than I would have liked at this point in the season. I was tired and struggling towards the end.  Continued to work on my aero position while on the road and my comfort level is improving.

Really wished the MapMyTri app would stop recording when stopped for lights, etc. like my bike speedometer does.  On some of these rides I am losing a few minutes just for that so I can't get completely accurate splits.

Run 130419

A real run!  After months of hip issue - I think bursitis but could have been something else.  I have been easing back into running with short easy runs of 2 miles with my daughter.

I went and bought a new pair of shoes  - running store informed me the pair I was using were purchase in 2011.  So there is at least one accomplice in my injury as I know I have logged well over the recommended 500 miles on them in the last two years.

With new Saucony Rides I went out to test my legs on a short run.  Ran 2 miles at a 6:33 pace and it felt good - the hip not my lungs. I shortened my stride to help my hip and run was great.
