83F, mostly clear - Fall training
group run from the Spot. Hill repeats were originally on the menu, but with most people just completed a 22mi run over the weekend, we stepped it down to a regular run (though still with a rolling route). I didn't have a particularly good run. There was this pain around the area of my R-chest/rib cage, that was giving me a hard time breathing. It's painful everytime I tried to take a deeper breathe, and from the jarring of downhill running. It felt like I was only able to take in half the air of my normal breath. Towards the end, it got a little better, but never completely went away. I'm not sure of the cause - perhaps a bruised or strain rib? Problem is, I don't recall falling down or running into anything the last few days. It's possible this was from incidental contact during soccer (blocking a shot, running into a player), but then it didn't bother me on Sat or Sun. Whatever it is, I hope it gets better real quick. Otherwise, it'll be extremely hard to race in the woods this weekend.
