Life took an interesting twist. I've been experience pain for a few months lately and two weeks ago I found a lump in my breast. As my life came to a crashing halt that instant I realized that I hadn't been listening to my body.
After the shock of what could be wore off I made my way to the doctor. Now here's the thing, we still don't know what the lump is, but its more likely that I tore my Pectoral muscle months ago and over time with running, lifting etc it never healed right.
I was put on orders not to run or do anything excessive. Which is extremely difficult for me. After two days I couldn't take the pressure, I needed to workout. I decided if I can't run, I can't do kickboxing I would do abs.
At the end of my workout I felt great mentally. I hurt like hell otherwise. Two days into my ab routine I realized my chest wasn't hurting as much so I decided to try and run.
Wrong idea!!!
I was in agony within minutes and had to stop. I pushed off running for a few more days, worked on my weights and abs, but stopped cardio. After two weeks I tried a different sports bra and tried to run again. I made it to my 1/2 mile mark before I started feeling pain. It was great and a huge relief. I didn't want to push it so I stopped running once I started feeling pain. I was worried I would feel the pain the next day, but I didn't. I felt great.
So I decided to try it again that night just to have the same results. While I still don't know what is technically wrong with me I have higher hopes that its nothing serious and will just take time to recover.
I have learned after my knee injury I need to listen to my body. Don't ignore something, its your body, you know it more than anyone else.
