I suppose my life wouldn't be complete without some aches and pains, and not to worry: I've got some. That discomfort in my right collarbone that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago is still present; it just so happened that I had my annual physical scheduled for this past Wednesday, so I mentioned it to my doctor and she ordered an X-ray. Fortunately the bone came out looking just fine. The doctor said it could be just a bruise, or even a weird virus that she's heard is going around that causes such pains. Or maybe it's just the latest manifestation of my impinged nerves.
Meanwhile, my left hip flexor has been bothering me as well. I started noticing it during one of my runs the week before last, and after I ran last Wednesday it seemed to feel worse. My original plan was to run again on Friday, but I decided to skip it and see if the extra rest made any difference. As of this writing it's still hurting about the same. It sure seems that whoever controls the universe simply doesn't want me to run.
So I'm feeling pretty beat up these days. I guess the bright side is that right now I'm still just maintaining some general fitness and don't have anything on the horizon that I need to be in top competitive shape for. And at least I can still paddle without any severe discomfort. That's what I did yesterday and today. Yesterday it was overcast with a chilly breeze, and I felt sort of sluggish in the boat. I basically just got in my hour... punched the clock, as it were. I felt better today, and I expect having some sunshine had something to do with that, though it was still breezy and chilly.
