Ran in breezy conditions. Still nice for what we have had. Feet got wet today due to the warm temps.

Well, got some bad news.... I had today off so I thought I would get some things done. So the ice along the gutters so I thought I would shovel some snow off the edge of the roof...no no, I didn't fall... well not on purpose. I decided to get off the roof by jumping into a pile of snow that was along our driveway. Yes it was a large pile of snow but not taking into the fact that it had warmed up a bit and the snow became compacted, it did not give like I thought it would. I have done something to my ribs. I am struggling to take a breath of air.... Didn't think I would miss a run from this!!! Hopefully just tweaked something and will only be sore for a day or two.

Yikes! Sounds like bruised or cracked ribs (which I've had). I wasn't a runner at the time though. Avoid twisting and stretching the painful spot if you can and keep it somewhat immobilized. That was my mistake when I had the injury. Good luck, hope you are back soon!

Thanks Joe .. I'm finding that I hurt just about everywhere. The neck, back, and those ribs. I live across the street from the elementary school so I did get some approval yells! It was just a stupid thing to do and now I'm paying for it.

I used to jump off our roof all the time when I was a kid! I'm glad I read your post though, because I am always tempted to do the same thing after I clean our gutters. Seems like it's almost more dangerous to climb down our gate. Hopefully it is just some soreness that will be gone in a day or two.

Just saw this, hope you are feeling better. So far I haven't fallen off my roof, but that's because I don't dare go up there anymore. Good luck.

thanks guys... Back and neck are feeling tons better. Wish I could say that about my ribs. I spoke to a nurse at church and she told me that it may be torn tissue between those lower ribs.

It is actually getting worse and I really don't know what to do! I am such an idiot! Oh the lessons we learn.
