Tested out the abs with 2 miles (Hedges Creek).  Felt ok but nowhere near being healed.

Went to the Dr today.  Pain in my lower abs and groin just isn't getting better.  Every movement woke me up as I slept last night.  Blah!

Treatment is heat, IB, and more rest.  So much for a spring marathon.  Or a spring race of any distance for that matter.   I'm not too upset about missing Shamrock but I really wanted to run Pear Blossom again.  Oh well--what are you going to do?

Going back to Dr on March 19th.

No running this week.  I was tempted but instead ate cheesecake, cookies, and ice cream.  And Whopper robin eggs.  And then some Reeses eggs.  I'm pretty sure there were other unhealthy things mixed in-between all that as well.  Good stuff.

It's safe to say I'm turning to food to replace my running and that I no longer need a belt.  This sucks.

2 miles tonight after work.  1 on the grass/trails at the park and 1 on the roads around the house.  Looks like the rest hasn't done much though.  I'm going to give it a try the rest of the week and if it's not better then I'm going to see a specialist.  I'm certain it's a sports hernia....

3 miles after work.  Felt worse than yesterday.  I don't know what to do...

On a positive note, today while driving around Portland near PGE Park I saw Shalane Flanagan.  I was stopped at a light and she approached my front and ran past me.  I quickly circled around the block and caught up to her right as she turned on to a one-way street (against traffic) so that ended my chase.  How cool would it have been to talk with her?!  Now I just need to see Kara Goucher and I'll have seen/met the 3 most famous female runners living in Oregon (I ran into Jordon Hasay last year in Sunriver).

3 miles after work that didn't bother my abs.  Shocking!  What's up with that?

3 miles before work. Abs hurt.  Actually, the abs weren't too bad but the groin pain is back.

3 miles after work with Ryan.  Abs felt fine after just a couple minutes.

3 miles before work. For some reason my abs felt great. Go figure. Maybe all the core work is starting to pay off?

4 miles in the POURING rain.  It was really coming down today in Portland.  My abs felt great--the best I've felt in 2 months.  It wasn't 100% but I only noticed it the first two minutes and then I felt great.

5 miles this morning.  Most of it on the park trails and wood-chips but I ventured off on the roads for a bit.
