I ran my Payson Park loop this morning and my legs were totally wiped out, they did not want to move today!!! I ran into Michelle on my way out and we talked for a second, she seems to be hanging in there and she is so inspiring, keep it up kiddo! My right groin was really tender again and up into the hip area, so that was kind of a bummer but I just kept pushing forward... My average pace was 8:52 with my HR average at 138 and my total time was 1:03:25, I picked the pace up a little on the way back so I could see my daughter before she left for school and I made it with time to spare. Iced my groin and then finished up with some strength training on the BowFlex, upper body only;-) I hope my groin doesn't become a problem, I just got my IT bands better and now this flairs up, it really ticks me off!!!

See ya tomorrow-

Well, I have a major groin pull! I went and tried to run and made it about a mile and a half and then I had to walk, very painful... I came home and tried the elliptical and it was about the same, I was able to do just over 26 minutes so I don't know what to do! I will probably take off the rest of the week and rest it and then see how it goes. I do have one problem and that is I have to cancel the rooms that I have booked by the 1st of September or I can't get a refund for them, so I don't have alot of time:-( I know I could run SG and finish but my whole purpose is to Boston Qualify, I'm not good at just running a Marathon just for the sake of running it, I'm kind of a loser when it comes to that I guess... I don't know what to do, I guess I will take the rest of the day and feel sorry for myself and then see how this week goes;-)

Rest- It hurts even to walk let alone run, I don't know what to do!? I have fought through so much this summer and I was just starting to feel good and now this happens, I am so ticked off! I tried the elliptical but it seems to aggravate it just as much as the running, so I am doing a combination of icing and then applying heat, I got that tip from the Internet, so I will see how it goes this week... I have some pain in the hip flexors as well so who know what I did, very frustrating!!!

 Later!

Rest-I went to Dr. Brady today and he worked me over pretty good!!! I will see him again on Tuesday next week and he seems to think that I might be back to running in a week, but I am less optimistic;-(  I am thinking real hard about maybe canceling out of SG and just letting my body heal up and then start over from scratch. my goal right now is to Boston qualify and I don't think it is a real good Idea to just go down and run it for the sake of running it.... between putting out money for hotel rooms and then other expenses just to get down there, I have a hard justifying doing that simply because money is tight right now, so I don't know what to do but I am leaning toward getting out. My heart is saying stay in it and run the race anyway but I just don't know. Sorry for my ramblings.
