Broke my rib in a mosh pit!! Should I run a marathon?

How old is your girlfriend now?

It all started when I was 4, I knew this was the wrong forum to raise my kids in but when it struck me I knew I was hosed. It was made with lighting, real lighting and I had no idea what she was talking about but I knew one thing, this definitely wasn't where I parked my car.

Go ahead and run, but be sure to do better than 2:55 or we'll talk about you like we talk about Nate Pennington.

Jason buddy, I've always thought that deep down you are a good guy and never criticized your choices.

But it's time to grow up man.

How did you break your rib cartilage? Did you get elbowed hard or whack your chest on the edge of the stage?

I don't have any advice, but I'm really curious as to how it happened.

Well Jason, anyone else posting that would earn a troll rating. I read this and I think "sounds like Jason".

Cartilage doesn't break, so you've got nothing to worry about. Maybe you separated it? Find a doctor to patch you up with some crazy glue and you'll be fine. Or drink some of your energy drink. Enjoy Austria.

i broke two ribs skiing. skipped my runs for two days and then started back. first week was unbelievably painful, but doable. after two weeks, it wasn't a problem at all. Agree with the above posters, exactly how do you break rib cartilage (as opposed to ribs)?

Eh, rub some energy drink on it, kid, you'll be fine.

If you look up "Attention Wh*re" in Wikipedia.. you will find Mayeroff's picture..

Are you allowed to set foot in the USA anymore? Or will the feds arrest you immediately upon landing?

The feds won't care, but about a dozen fathers/husbands will show up with rusty butter knives to cut my nuts off!!!!

YES, I was at the Lamb of God show in BKK on 4/7 and fought my way up to the rail and then there was a crowd surge and I whacked my non-meaty ribs against the edge of the barricade. I could feel it crrrrack. Ah well, all in the name of ROCK AND ROLL!!!

Anyway, here's a youtube video from someone in the audience where Randy says "This one's for my boys Jason and Richard." It was awesome meeting them and partying with them for 2 nights.

Jason

Nice man, Lamb of God in Thailand! Rock on

My farts are more musical than that shite.

I have zero experience with this type of injury but if I were in your position, I'd take a couple of days off, but definitely still run the marathon. Can you aquajog for a couple days or something?

I think we need some more stories about this maniac lead singer though. Good luck with the ribs.

lamb of god, is god

It's 5:30am here in Linz now. Yes I am in pain but I am going to run it as a training run.

Regarding Lamb of God, we found out what flight they were arriving on, and we met them at the airport with cold beer. They were very happy about this. Randy gave us his digits and we met up with them later at the hotel. It was 2:30am by this point. Randy wanted to see the seamy side of Bangkok, but all the bars and clubs were closed by then so we just hung out around Sukhumvit soi 4 and watched the late late night street scene and had some drinks and street food.

The next day, at the show, Randy said to message him when we got to the arena, so Randy himself came out to the lobby of the arena to find us and get us backstage. Of course he was mobbed by fans when he did this. We had some Thai food with them since the promoter had arranged for a nice buffet and tons of beverages of all kinds. They are a great bunch of southern guys to hang out with.

I've been to at least 200 metal shows in my life, including some really memorable ones like Metallica in 1985, Ozzy in 1982 and 1986, Judas Priest many times, but this one topped them all. L.O.G. was firing on all cylinders that night, and the song dedication was just a really special moment.

We met up back at their hotel after the show and of course Randy and a couple of the roadies wanted to go out again and we were able to hang out at soi cowboy for a couple of hours. Randy even ate some fried grasshoppers!

Very wild and memorable times!!

Linz went OK.... I stuck with my plan to keep it as a training run and ran 33km at a good pace, going through 20 miles in 1:47, then I jogged back to my hotel near the 38km point.

The main race for me is Hamburg which is in 2 weeks. The broken rib was painful but I got through it.

What do the lyrics of "Foot to the Throat" mean?
