Eves this week. 5 km @ 7:30 pace on my meal break. Tweaked my chest injury yesterday throwing the snow blower around making a bobsled track for the grandkids. Its only a minor setback! The treadmill was good tonight but it felt like an insulin spike or caffeine jolt hit me. I had a coffee with hot chocolate and hour before I ran. Then again it could be I was a little tired after skiing for 3 hours before work.
My 3 hour ski today...
Only ran Saturday logging a 10 km out and back on the 2nd. Super slow by purpose but no worse for the ware chest felt OK. Sunday I was planning on a repeat of Saturday but the Grandkids came for a visit!
Wore 2 watches, both optical sensors thought it would be cool to compare the data. Garmin avg was 119 bpm and the fitbit was 120 bpm...impressive how close they are!

5k today , huge contrast in the way I feel compared to Monday. I should be fully back by next week, long run pending.
5.3 km today , held the left arm high and bent and limited arm swing. 4.5 km at a 7:30 pace with a 0.5 deg incline to lesson the impact , did a 0.8 km walk at the end. A wee bit better today and no negative impact as a result of the run...I think!
Ski trip is over and its back to work. I fell and injured my left chest , probably not a break or a fracture most likely cartilage or soft tissue. Coughing , deep breathing and getting up or rolling over hurts. It seems to be getting better it happened 6 days ago. Today I ran at a 7:30 pace , it was painful. I cut it short at 4k instead of the usual 5k and will evaluate things. As along as it hasn't aggravated the injury I will go longer tomorrow then faster the next day.
