Dare to be great!

Attempted to try out a short run to test my groin pull out. I haven't done much since Turkey day except a few hikes. I could tell a few strides into the run it was not o.k. Ran a half lap with Blake then jogged the rest of the way around Liberty Park.

Not going to push it now, hopefully I can do some biking until I get healed up.  Anyone have any idea how long a groin pull takes to heal?

Another trial run during lunch at Liberty Park. Groin pain is still there. Didn't try to push the pace at all, 9:15 AP. Can't tell if it is getting better or still about the same. Hopefully it heals quickly it was such nice weather for a run.  

Decided to go on a trail hike/run this morning up Lone Peak.  Today was pretty brutal on the legs.  Started at the Orson Smith Trailhead headed to the Trail of the Eagle and headed up the steep switchbacks.  Started exploring around and ended up coming down making my own trail through the trees in Little Willow Creek.  I am still in injury mode so it started hurting on the way down.  I don't know if it was the terrain or the lack of spring in my legs but I went down hard four times on the way down.  Like legs out and flat on my back and sliding down the mountain. 

At least it didn't do much except knock the air out of me.  Almost got cliffed out on the way down and the wind felt like a hurricane at times. Also there was so much vegetation in the creek bottom and no trail it was hard coming down.  I was dead on my feet by the time I got back to the car.  As hard as it was, I love the mountains and besides feeling exhausted afterwards, I didn't get injured and it beat being at work.

Hopefully I heal pretty soon so I can get some real runs in.
