Chest

So, four weeks ago I went for my first jog in ages. The next day, my chest was sufficiently painful that I went to the doctor. I would usually wait a bit, but given the whole “you can die from pneumonia” thing, probably best to get it checked out… anyhow, apparently from all my coughing, I’d either got a crack in a rib, or torn some of the muscles. Excellent. Either way the only thing that can be done is to let it heal.

Anyhow, no jogging for a while. Then it was two weeks later (i.e.: two weeks ago), I started jogging – going for 4 runs in 6 days. Quite short distances. Funny that. It was gradually hurting a bit in the chest, but not too bad. The 5km on last Wednesday was the last one I’ve done since (being on the busy side and not enough energy and hurting a bit – but a lot less than a few weeks previous) after that). Annoying.

Given that I’ve had a weeks rest, I’ll give it another go tomorrow or Friday.
