Morning run on Beach Drive w/Mike. A bit cooler than it has been, only 50F when we started. My groin was stiff from the start, we began by running back through Port Orchard to check on a small new urban trail, then came back through Annapolis at 25 minutes and headed out Beach Drive. My groin eventually warmed up, but the left hip flexor and hip/hamstring were both talking to me most of the way. Possibly because we could not stick to a slower pace, as planned. After mile 3 we were hitting 7-7:05 each, with two (10 and 12) at 6:40 and 6:50. Probably faster than necessary, but I suppose that indicates we have some fitness. Significant pain and soreness in my left hip flexor/hip at the finish though, I've stretched/iced/showered so hopefully during the day I loosen up. 1:24:06 |
