@Avidkeo (and @Elise4270) Yes it definitely feels like it's a pulled attachment point or something, a tendon would make sense. Though I know a week isn't much in the long run (pun intended, lol) I'm sad to put my running (and most of my other workouts) on hold. I've been so motivated thus far, which has been great, but definitely don't want to risk any long term issues. I may have even been overtraining, so some time off will be good all round. Hopefully I'll be able to stay motivated and get back at it (at a more sustainable pace!) when my shoulder is back to normal. Thanks so much for the help and advice, the link you sent is definitely appreciated!4

@rheddmobile Don't give up. I don't see the protests lasting much longer - not the violent ones anyway. Hopefully the curfew will be lifted soon. I wouldn't run in that heat either! Geeze.

@rheddmobile I feel you. Hang in there, it’s tough for sure. The heat is crazy.
Rest day today, did a BodyBoss workout at home.
Hoping to get. A long run in this weekend. Will have to go early early.4 -
@rheddmobile - I can't believe they have made the curfews for the foreseeable future. That hurts all the restaurants and businesses too. Hopefully it is just over the weekend. Definitely too hot to run during the day there - YIKES!
@lexigraph - hope your shoulder feels better! You might try getting out for some walks during your normal run times just to be consistent and get some movement in. Also once it is feeling better I would be very cautious with your lifting. Start easy with low weights and low reps and build slowly to avoid additional injury.
Such weird weather here. 92F and sunny hot yesterday. 60F cloudy cool and raining today. Was supposed to be drizzle maybe but nope it was rain. When I ran we only had sprinkles until close to home then more rain. It was lovely to run in the coolness though!

Short run in the morning. Just too darn hot.
Thinking of y'all in the turbulence. Hoping for a lift on curfews and isolation soon.6 -
Got in 5 miles early before work yesterday but forgot to post. Pace is still improving, which is good, and I was lucky it was a little bit cooler than the last couple of runs.
Hoping things are easing for you weather and curfew-wise @rheddmobile and that your 10 mile run goes well @quilteryoyo.
Today I’m doing strength training and a bit of yoga. Hoping for a long run tomorrow.
Happy weekend all x

Non running. DH had to take himself off to ED today, he was getting pain when he peed, muscle aches, and general tired malaise.
He's been there 4hrs, had IV antibiotics and is now getting fluids. I'm at home with the kids and I'm on call tonight (he went to my hospital). Fortunately my mum is here for a visit so she can watch the kids if I get a call out.
I'm worried he's going to be admitted. It's definitely a possibility. He HATES hospitals. Sigh.
I'm OK, just hard not being with him or knowing what exactly is going on. Im so tired from last night on call so will be trying to get sleep soon. (it's 840pm here now).
I'll let you know how he's doing in the morning, or when I know more.12 -

Sorry to read this @Avidkeo - hope all is ok and that you can get some rest x0 -
@Avidkeo I hope everything turns out ok for your husband.0

Wow that stinks. I have to agree with him on being checked into hospitals. UGH. Hopefully, it passes quickly.0 -
@Avidkeo I'll keep your husband in my thoughts and prayers ♥ I hope he's okay. I hate hospitals, too, however necessary they are.
I plan to run outside tonight instead of on the treadmill, for the first time in what seems like forever, weather permitting. It's not supposed to get above 77° F today, so fingers crossed. The dogs will be happy. They've had a well-deserved break but I can tell its making them restless.4 -
Thanks guys. He got home a couple of hrs ago - I've just got home from a call out. So so tired.
It's a bladder and prostate infection. Will be on high dose antibiotics for 4 weeks. Dr said he's likely to feel rotten for a couple of days. At least he didn't get admitted.12 -

Sunny and upper 60s F today, with a little breeze out of the northeast. Thought about a longer run, but during kilometer 7 my right SI joint decided to be unhappy. With a half a k to go, it then decided it was OK after all, but I suspected it might have been a trick, so I stopped at 7.
@avidkeo Glad things worked out OK.

It finally cooled down today! Slept in until 8:30 and it was still only 58 degrees when I started. I really hate running in the heat so it was nice to get a cooler run in7 -
@avidkeo glad your husband is home. That sounds miserable but at least he wasn't admitted. Hope you both get some rest.

There was an organized, unsupported #blacklivesmatterRUN this morning. I was impressed with the organization of this over the course of this week, with t-shirts and everything. It was a 16.5 mile course but people were encouraged to run or walk whatever portion they wanted (and keep spread out). It felt really hot and humid, especially given the cotton t-shirts, which were very nice but HOT. I did the first part of the run and looped back. I definitely did not have 16.5 miles in me today. I would have liked to get closer to 10 but it was pretty miserable and my friend and I decided to cut it back. It was a good turnout of people, but not too crowded so it felt fine. We had masks just in case and wore them while standing around together in the beginning. I had it on afterward while getting some coffee and it was so hot on my face, I can't imagine running with the mask on the whole time, but some did. Hopefully the run accomplished something - it was free but people were encouraged to donate to causes and there was at least one table where they were doing voter registration.
There are lots of protests planned this weekend, and I have heard rumors of outside groups planning violence/rioting. I hope nothing happens.8
