Oops, didn't see Pete's post, but yep, that is accurate and I had the inevitable choice of either starting my leg or seeing if he was okay. (I ran because it was my idea to run the stupid relay in the first place).
I had now fallen FIVE (!!!!!) times during the pandemic, and not once spraining an ankle (my weak spot since I have no ligaments in my ankles now), but landing hard on my ribs three times. The last two times (in the same run), caused my ribs to become somewhat dislocated and making it extremely difficult to breath and impossible to run, or even walk for a while.
I'm attempting to run again and started 10 days ago with 11 x 1 min jog, 1 min walk. When that went okay, with little pain, I've increased that by a minute for each "repeat" so yesterday was 11 x 8 min. So far so good, although last Tuesday I was in great pain again after a new chiropractic adjustment. Today was 4 x 9 min (my off day when I usually don't run at all), and I'll try something like 8-9 x 9 minutes tomorrow and take it from there. So, yes, I'm "Gallowalking" but it's something anyway and actually wound up with 42 miles last week.
For most of my running buddies, this is a stressful time and almost no one is running well, but as one teammate pointed out, we are doing "something" and that is better than not. For my fellow passengers on the "struggle bus" - hang in there. You are not alone.
