Week of January 25 (0 injured)

Monday

I'm feeling a little better this morning. 

Tuesday

I went to the doctor and I got very little other than an appointment with a general surgeon. The bruising has started and when I sneeze or cough there is excruciating pain in my lower right abdominals.

Wednesday

There was very little progress today in my recovery. I have considerable swelling in my right upper thigh and I noticed more bruising.

Thursday

I experienced night sweats for the second time since my injury. I didn't have to change clothes last night so it wasn't quite as bad as the night before. I now have bruising in my right lower abdominal area. I'm still unable to do push ups but my mobility seems to be slightly improved. 

Friday / Saturday

It's going on 6 days since my injury and I'm nowhere close to being able to run. I'm missing my first today and will more than likely miss the Strawberry Plains race as well. It's 5 weeks until the MB Half. I'm going to give myself another week then make the decision on should I go. I may try some low intensity XT today. 
I was able to work at the office all day on Friday, but I believe maybe I shouldn't have.
XT. Bike x 20 minutes. Upper body strength x 10 minutes. Elliptical x 20 minutes. Everything was very low intensity and pain free. It was great to get in some movement.
I did 15 minutes in the hot tub then ice post exercise.   

Sunday

It's been a week and maybe I'm a little better.
