relentless forward progress

Easy 3 mile warm up on the elliptical then tried to run. I felt better the longer i went and finally just cranked out a couple of mp miles at the end (5:42). The whole thing felt easy although the start was a little awkward from not running for 4 days. I know I'm not the smartest person ever but sometimes you just have to run :).

I was able to get in to my masseuse and think it's a sore adductor/groin. I'm pretty sure it happened on the new years day run as the footing was not the best in my flats and i had quite a few slips. I will have to play it by ear and exercise care when necessary but I'm sure I'll be ok for the half next weekend. 10.2 miles in 1:05:40. 6:30ish

Subbed in a hilly hour on the elliptical instead of an easy run after yesterdays brainfart when I ran too hard :).

1 hour of hills on the elliptical. Kept the level at 12 which kept my HR around 142. A couple more days of this and I'll be good to go. Stretch, strength, and rolling at home.

am - 1 hour+ weight/circuit training. 3 sets each of: hip felxors/inner, hip felxors/outer, lat pull down, back extension, glutes, leg raises, hammer curls, push ups, planks, side planks (each side), crunches, resistance band curls, dips.

pm - 1 easy hour on the elliptical. Kept the HR in recovery area between 120-130. 

Only had time for 5 on the stairmaster so I made them at a harder effort. Stretch, rolling, and strength training at home after. My wife and oldest are gone until tomorrow night so I am partying hard with the little kids :).

Easy 2 mile warmup on the elliptical. I stretched good after and then started a very easy 5 mile run. A dime sized spot on my adductor/groin hurts just like it did on Monday when i last ran. It doesn't hurt like something serious but it's more discomfort than a niggle. Several emotions. At this point the half next weekend is not looking like the race i wanted it to be. 7:40

I'm going to get in to muscle works in alpine next week and see if they have any ideas.
