but less than a week after falling down the stairs on the train, I was carrying a basket of laundry down the stairs and slipped AGAIN! Am I getting old now?? Ugh. This time I bounced a few steps, hit my upper back on another step, and did God knows what to my arm.
Today I went to the doctor. And I have been gripping any and all railings around stairs!
The x-rays showed that I haven't broken anything! I have a nasty bruise on my arm and have been told not to do any cycling. He said I should sit on a donut but I can't find one anywhere. I am extremely relieved and had actually started to feel better this morning but decided I needed to go to the doctor anyway if I was going to be able to mentally handle the marathon. I needed to know I wasn't going to do some kind of damage to myself. He said, "You can run it if you can tolerate it."
So tonight I eased back into some running with a 2 mile run with a 5:1 run:walk ratio. It felt a bit weird getting back out there but, although I was a bit hesitant and slightly uncomfortable still, the pain was bearable.
I suppose last week just had some sad energy anyway since it was also my Grandma's birthday. I'm hoping the excitement of race day starts to creep in soon.
