Well I decided to go and try a run this morning and check out my leg and see where it is at! I was able to run three miles and not have to stop other than to take a break and check things out... I took it by half miles and if the pain didn't get any worse then I kept going, there was some tightness in the injured area of my hip and flexors which is what has been giving me the trouble. It seems that I have lost some fitness just judging by my heart rate and the pace that I was going and on the injured side I had some weakness there, but all in all I was glad that I was able to get out and complete the run. Tomorrow will be the test to see how I recover and if the injured area heals up in time to run again, I don't know if I have enough time to prepare for SG but I think depending on how things go in the next week I might still give it a try:-) It will depend on how my leg responds and if my fitness improves enough to make it worth my while, or do I shoot for something in the spring. I am scheduled for the riverwoods half marathon next month, so I might be able gauge things from that race, that is if I'm able to run it...
I also did some strength training on my legs and some push-ups to finish out the morning, see you tomorrow...
