Trial Run

This past Tuesday I went back to the doctor for my collar bone. I was hoping to get some good news and get the go ahead to start running.

The doctor took some x-rays and showed my the progress. He also mentioned that the popping that I feel and hear is because the bone isn't completely knitted back together yet. He gave me the go ahead to ditch the sling which I am happy for. He told me that I was not yet ready for therapy, but by next month I should be healed enough to start.

I then asked him the all inquisitive question.........

When can I start running again?

His answer was less than I hoped. He said: Give it a shot, if you have pain where the break was - stop, but if you feel no pain go ahead and run.

I woke up the next morning and my shoulder was already hurting. I figured if my shoulder was hurting before I even try to run what is the point so I delayed my trial run. I plan on getting out for a trial run sometime in the next week. I am nervous, I kinda feel like groundhog day is coming..... will he see his shadow or not? Will I feel the pain or not?

    Hey Tim, be patient, it'll happen sooner if you wait until it's properly healed. LOL, yeah, I know, easier said than done. Can you do water running by any chance? I've heard it's as good as regular running as far as conditioning is concerned.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog -

    kelownagirl - yea, it is easier said than done, but I resisted this morning.... soon, hopefully soon. I haven't thought about the water running mainly because I don't have many options on where to do it.

    Lily - yea, I am hanging in there, getting better all the time. Thanks!

    !Ouch! That is tough. And twice as bad since you are still feeling, you still have healing to do!
