When you injured

Ohhh… plenty is happening then. Plenty but unfortunately most of these things are not great. Let me start that list:

  1. lower back muscle pain – root of all problems,
  2. left side ribs muscle pain,
  3. left side chest pain,
  4. can’t breathe (cause of 3),
  5. using at most 50% capacity of lungs,
  6. can’t sleep (cause of 1, 2, 3),
  7. tired,
  8. can’t train at all (not even bike),
  9. mood is down,
  10. eating even more than when training,
  11. constant angry,
  12. personal strains,
  13. stop blogging.

All that has started just after Dublin Marathon. Third day after I couldn’t run. Following day chest pains started and I couldn’t lay down in bed cause of pain. Could get maybe 2-3 hours sleep when I was sitting. Horror… Was twice in emergency to be informed that blood is ok, nothing is broken, lungs ok. Probably strained muscle. But why it is so painful and why back is causing chest pains as well? Pain killers not working, same with antyinflammatory. Just pain… Last chance was physio. This time it wasn’t as quick as last time.

This time it was one and half month of therapy and no training which got me to point:

  • No fitness at all.

Getting back to running was hard, really hard… Maybe at beginning of the year I was ready to say I can start running again (not running as much as jogging). Getting back to Gary’s class has helped me a lot. Personal training plan as well. All started to go well…

Two marathons as

training runs and pain is back. This time reaction was quicker. Physio, spinology doctor and following Sunday I was able slowly run 5 K. Now hopping that injury will die out… Will see…
