When I woke up this morning my left groin area was giving me some problems so I didn't run, after work I came home and jumped on the elliptical and warmed up for 10 minutes just to test it out and it felt okay. I jumped on the treadmill to try it out and there was some pain but it seemed to get better as I ran but I had to keep the pace very, very, slow. After running a mile I went back to the elliptical and ran the contenders course with resistance up to 5 for 20 minutes and then I cooled down for another 10 minutes after that, I then went back to the treadmill for another 2 miles at an easy pace. I ran 3 miles in 28:30 with 40 minutes on the elliptical, so I guess you can call that a brick going back and forth. My groin is still giving me problems as I'm writting this at 11:00 at night, so I don't know what to think about it... I know the elliptical doesn't seem to bother it which is good but running was another story, if I was able to keep the pace easy then it seemed to do okay so I might try that in the morning and then see how it goes. I will have to scale back on the distance too. I have had this alot and I don't know what the cause would be, maybe to much to fast or something like that. I do know! One thing is for sure, I cannot take another year like I had last year where I was injuried all the time, it would just be to much and I think I would pack it in! So I hope this is just a little niggle and a blip but by the way that its feeling it seems to be a bad one, so I will have to take it day by day and then go from there. I don't know, maybe my body just isn't cut out for long distance running, I just can't seem to stay away from the injuries its very frustrating! Goodnight.
