Troubles - Why this long silence? I spent a bad long period due to the edema in 2 lumbar vertebrae and, later, in a dorsal vertebra. The story began in late February, few days after the booster, when I got a bronchitis and the cough caused a severe pain on my back; the magnetic resonance said: L2 and L3 edema. I needed one whole month of magneto therapy and 2 months of total rest. I came back to running in may but, because a wrong movement, I got the D7 edema too!!!! Another month of rest and, on July 8th, after some long walks, I could run again. The recovery is gradual, I started with 5 km and now I can run 8 km very slowly but this summer heat doesn't help. At the moment the races are only a dream. I must understand that I am getting older and my body is not anymore the same of many years ago!
Bolsena lake - Sometimes I spend with my family some days at the lake of Bolsena:
How is the weather there? Are you under a heat wave? Are you enjoying this summertime?
Ciao Cavaliere Nero e ben ritrovato! In bocca al lupo, speriamo che tu possa tornare a correre come una scheggia al piĆ¹ presto.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you've had some health issues. I would agree with you that getting older does make things more difficult, physically! Glad to see that you are able to run again and spend time at the lake. Give yourself plenty of time to recover!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! You have been away far too long. I am glad to know that you have recovered from this dreadful, debilitating condition and you are able to resume running. I will look forward to seeing your regular posts again. With my very best wishes - David
ReplyDeleteIt is so hot here, normal for us in the American south. Opening the front door is like opening an oven. Gasp. Water, please! š
ReplyDeleteHope you get back to running soon. I have had to take it easy because my knee was complaining.
I am on a bit of a blog break. Not sure when I will return.
Troubles indeed! But so good to read one of your posts again and to know that you are back to running.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Italy today. We were at a wedding in Monteriggioni near Siena. I got to run there twice and really enjoyed it. They're in bad need of rain, though. I hope they will get some soon.
Welcome back, glad to hear that you recovered and are taking things slowly. Getting old gives us new aches and pains but we have to go slowly. The weather here is not so hot now but we will be getting some next week. Take care and stay cool.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that, it sounds awful. I'm glad you're getting better now - do take care. We had two days of very high temperatures here in the UK and of course our houses are arranged to keep IN the heat so we had to work hard to keep cool!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you posting again. I had decided I'd pop in just once more; as I thought I was bugging you with all my waving each time I made my blog rounds. Slow and easy, no more injuries please. None of us are as young as we used to be...hard to admit that sometimes when we try to exercise. Sometimes we just over do. Take care of you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very rough way you had to go through, and glad you came out fine.
ReplyDeleteI love the heat, but 27C at 09:30 screams for holiday! At a lake or such!
Instead I have to use my brain at work. But I mostly love it.
Hope you´re back to happy running soon. I quit training in this weather, the balcony it is!
Yes, the summer heat doesn't help especially when one is cycling or running. It is pleasant here in Chicago now.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! You have been missed, Black Knight!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know that you have recovered and are able to run again.
Have a great weekend!
Hope you are on the mend. It's been wet and cool here, average temperatures from -2 to 12 or so. Signs that Spring is on the way though.
ReplyDeleteI knew you had lots of set backs, but seeing the time line I can understand your frustration. Maybe walking instead of running is a good idea. Nice spot for family time. Take care. I LOVE the summer and heat...I just try to do things a bit slower or in shorter bursts of time. But, here fall is almost on us which makes me sad. Flowers are going by the way side. Shorter days, darker days will move in........Groan.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you. Hoping things are calming down for you.
ReplyDeleteWaving hi, wondering how things are coming along for you.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen any blog posts by you in a while so I decided to check in and see how you're doing. I hope that by now you are able to run again and the weather is getting better for running. We've had a magnificent fall with the temperature warmer than normal.
ReplyDeleteyou have been gone a very long time and it sounds like you have been very sick!! it is nice to see you today!!
ReplyDeleteit is spring here in new jersey, 80 degrees which is a little warm for this time of year. it has been dry, we could use some rain!!
