Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc. 

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

AM - 30 minutes of Alter-G running, 4.2 miles of running at 80% bodyweight (~91 lbs). Occasional hamstring aches and groin pains but overall a good run. I can feel my psoas get tired at about 25 minutes right now, but it has made huge progress in the last two weeks.

PM - 30 minutes of pool running. 

I still have the lower abdomen/groin pain to the touch which makes me wonder if this injury is all associated with a hernia. If it doesn't get better in the next week, I'm going to the doctor. 

Also, I'm gaining my weight back! Funny how running again has pushed it back up, but it's a good thing. I need to be somewhere in the 115-120 range.

Wonderful Andrea! Keep it up! Yeah, a hernia is definitely a possibility.

Hey Matt, do you think I should go get an ultrasound or something? I know you mentioned that you knew some people that specialize in this sort of thing?

If you are concerned, I would see a general surgeon. I don't yet know any general surgeons around here personally. What I mentioned before is that, if needed, I could find out who in the country specializes in "sports" hernias (I have ways of finding out). But I think first you should be tested for a regular hernia (and other possibilities), and finding a local general surgeon would be sufficient for that.
