Uh-oh

I foolishly ran my 3-hour run with a strained groin. And I paid for it. Monday and Tuesday I was hurting. After seeing my physiotherapist, the amazing Tracey, I started a heavy regime of exercises determined to keep this from getting worse.

It's always nerve-wracking as you get close to an important race (a la Boston) and get struck with injury. But I was lucky. This was a warning shot...across the groin so to speak.

So today, after 2 days of no running and a day on the bike, I took off for a test run. An easy run that went far better than I expected. 10 miles later and I was feeling really good. I can still sense it, but it's healing.

I'm gonna take it easy for the next 2 days before my next long run on Sunday. The last thing I need is to mess my up my training in the final 5 weeks before Boston.
