So this turned out to be a grade II strain in the left sartorius where it crosses to the inner thigh. It would have been pretty minor I think had I not kept running on it, but by two weeks ago Thursday I was really having trouble walking and shutting down was an easy call. Walking without discomfort now, but still sore when I tried to run this morning to my disappointment. So one more week. In the interim I've been swimming every morning at Wiley Pond to keep the fat down and biking 20 mi a day from Orleans to Wellfleet and back.
Two morals - no fast miles while adding weekly distance and rest day after anything more than the usual aches and pains. |
