D'oh! Shouldn't Have Done That...
Tuesday, 07 September 2010 - Written by johnnyk8 [profile]
A few weeks back I downed my bike de-clipping and hurt my keister. Until Sunday I was about 95%. Actually I was running very well and painlessless. I put in an effortless 10 miler followed by a nice bike ride. Felt great.

Now fast forward 24 hours from then. I was playing basketball with my boy. A game that I HATE by the way. And landed weird after a layup, came down on my right leg and aggrevated the injury.

On Monday morning a got up and ran my normal 13+ miler (like I do every Monday) out on the country roads (quite glorious BTW). I hit a very satisifiying average pace of 7:04. But felt a twinge in my butt, theigh and heel if I struck the ground too hard. SCIATICA!!!!!!!!!

The good ol' sciatic nerve must be getting pinched from all the swelling from my fall. It's the little stuff that gets ya. I'm glad is not a running day anyway so I can taker easy.

Let's have a good week!

First time but it has already reduced a great deal. Good ol' rest and a decent night's sleep works wonders. I have been doing the 5 hrs a night thing recently which is not conducive to my reparing.

Last night I got some sleep - slept with a pillow under my legs to take the pressure off the nerve and swallowed a handful of ibuprofin and could feel the difference in the AM.

I stayed off the cardio today (I should anyway since a ran a hard HM yesterday) anc concentrated on core. time well spent.
