Running/swimming with stitches

I was in a bike accident 9 days ago and have 25 stitches in my lower left shin-do you think I can run tonight with them in? It’s still a little sore, but 3 mi or should be fine…I get them out tomorrow but don’t want to wait any longer to start running again…thoughts?

You can. But why not wait a day? One day isn’t going to make much a difference in the overall scheme of things. A 3 mile workout isn’t going to really gain you anything, so why risk it?

Why not? Chicks dig scars, and all this talk about antibiotic resistant infections is probably pure hype cooked up by the pharma industry. Hell, since it’s only a little sore, make it 6 miles! :slight_smile:
