Might have to admit that the self-diagnosed sportsman's hernia is affecting me more than I thought. Wholly unsatisfying effort at the track meet this evening. Did a 2.2 mile jog and felt I was warmed up enough for the 200, but never really got into a strong sprint - weird. Ran 27.42 when I fully expected low 26 - hmph. Jumped right back on the track after that and cruised through a 2:32 800 and then immediately into a 14:04 2-mile after the 800. So, if nothing else, it was a pretty good workout at least. Gonna drop my Doc an email this evening and just pick his brain on the self-diagnosis - he's a runner and we discussed it a bit last year about this time when it flared up - he's not a big believer in the whole sportsman's hernia phenomenon in general. |
