Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Some good hiking scrambling up peaks around Canmore. I wasn't sure how my ribs would do but I almost got a good night's sleep and felt pretty good in the morning.


Carbon, Bash and I hiked up Lady Mac to the "teahouse" platform. Great views, decent weather and the climb up wasn't too painful with tightly taped ribs. The descent was pretty nasty though, and I was glad for a lunch break to let the ribs recuperate. I tried a bit of running down, but that hurt way too much.
Next we hiked up Ha Ling in some variable weather, with impressive windy views up top. The way down wasn't as rib-busting as Lady Mac luckily.
Not feeling as good as I'd hoped but far better than I feared.

Great to be in Canmore again with the Carbons.
Looking forward to dinners with Slice, Boundless Boy Zoolander and my buddy Walker.

C • Good stuff! 3

Well, looks like 2 broken ribs. No WT for me.
I was actually feeling a bit better today, after yet another lousy night.

C • Ugh!!! 14

Hike to work with a rib belt, and a pinch-collar to keep BZdog behaving.
Sore but not unbearable. Got x-rays today too- will see if anything shows up.

Appt with Thumbs-of-Death last night. He thinks it's a cracked rib, not a bruise.
Will try and get x-Ray tomorrow, but hairline cracks don't always show up.
Slept in a recliner until about 4am, but not great sleep.

C • Fingers crossed rest up! 11

C • Shermer Neck... 3

Ugh. Sore this morning, after a lousy sleep.
Hurts to walk. Or lift stuff. Or twist. Or get flopped-on by a dog in your sleep.
No long run today. Hope to recover for the big Rockies training trip with the Carbons.

C • Oh....feel better soon! :) 5
