PT continued...

Still working on PT.  Yesterday I had the PT assistant working with me.  I have a cold or something and I really didn't feel like explaining EDS to her.  I also think that's the PT's job.  I scared her when I was doing an exercise with my back against the wall.  I didn't like the way my shoulder was articulating, so I pressed my shoulder blade against the wall until I felt my scapula snap, pretty hard, back into place.  She said, "Did you just pop your shoulder back in place?"  She seemed really startled and said she had never seen that before.  Oops. Maybe I should have warned her.  I forget that other people can be squeamish about that stuff.

Crushed Another Run

Well, crushed my second attempt at a run this year.  It's a good start.  I actually found my second wind this time.  You know, that moment in your run that you stop feeling like it's too hard and you think you could keep going for a while.  I still stopped at 1.55 miles though.  My asthma was kicking me in the chest the whole time.  I can't wait for it to get hot outside, so that isn't such an issue.  Fingers crossed for no dislocated ribs this time.  


I used to get at least 3-4 good distance runs in every week.  Once I quit doing it consistently (during recovery from shoulder surgeries), I started with the dislocated ribs after runs.  Hopefully if I can learn to be patient with myself and stick to the slow runs, I can build up to a good 5 mile run.  What a release those long runs used to be.  I'd love to have that end-of-the-run feeling again.
