Time to face facts. It didn't even take 1/4 mile today to figure out my left hip/adductor and now glutes are officially "screwed up". Things haven't gotten better and have frankly gotten worse so that I now can't fool myself into thinking it's just some soreness that'll work itself out if I keep running. I knew if I would've gone past 1/4 mile today, I would've run the 18 to 22 scheduled, which would probably have made things much worse in the long run, so I'm officially bailing on today's and tomorrow's runs now. I'll re-evaluate Monday and see about easing back into things then. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I'm traveling for work starting tomorrow through next Friday, so a doctor's visit is out of the question, so here's hoping rest and stretching helps fix what ails me.

Wow. Sorry to hear that it is something more serious. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the rest solves the problem.

Bummer! Yes, rest and regroup, and try not to let it get you down. (No heavy drinking!) ;)

Hope the rest does the trick, I'm looking forward to watching you have a great year and keeping up the training you've done so far. Enjoy the (hopefully short) break.

Sorry to hear about the injury. Relax and take it easy; the roads will still be there after you recover.
