How I Ran 48.6 Miles With Broken Ribs | Disney Dopey Challenge 2019 Last year I decided I was going to run the Disney Dopey Challenge 2019. But... A few weeks before I simply broke my ribs. I was in my Muay Thai class and I got a kick right at the ribs. MAN IT WAS PAINFUL AS HELL.It was hard to walk, hard to breath, not able to sleep, LET ALONE RUN A FULL MARATHON! It was only 2 weeks left for the marathon date, and I had to train, I put my running shoes on that Sunday, I had to run the 15 miles, just gonna jog, step after step, it was painful all the time. Worse than I thought I couldn't even listen to music or an audiobook with all the pain. All I focused on is putting one step then other. I hoped that it will be okay the day of the marathon, or at least not as painful. and As you guessed, no as I thought It was painful still. I trained everyday up until the day of the marathon with only 2 days of rest before. It was 4 long days: First day 5 kilometers, Second day 10 kilometers, Third day half a marathon (21.1 kilometers) And by the fourth day a full marathon (42 Kilometers). Anyways one step after the other I did it. I though that was it, I didn't think I'll be able to run a full marathon. By the Third day I was dying, the pain was killing me, I didn't know how am I gonna run a half marathon let alone a full marathon? A full marathon alone is hard, it's hard. Four hours on average of running time. Add to that being tired, not sleeping, broken ribs. My first thought was: how am I going to run the Disney Dopey Challenge 2019? I thought this was going to get better. It didn't. I need to run this. I need to run this. But, as you might already know me... I've committed to it, so... I'm going to run the Disney dopey challenge 2019. And that's what I did... But... How did I run 48 miles with broken ribs? That's what you're going to find out.
