Weekly Review
I've had this ongoing lower right abdominal pain for a few months that gets better for a day then worse then mild then severe. I would have sworn I have pubalgia, aka sports hernia. It totally feels like a muscle issue, but I've been watching videos trying to figure out what to do to help it and I came across a sports doc who said it may be a nerve problem from compression of my lower vertebral discs. Seems weird but he suggested I pull on the skin where the pain is and do the movement that causes pain. I did it and the pain decreased by a good 90%. Now if this was a muscular problem that wouldn't have done anything. Anyways so I've been working on lower back decompression exercises and sure enough, I feel a ton better. I'm excited to run tomorrow morning and see how it feels.
I had a good week of training with a little increase in my daily mileage, but I only got in a 15 mile long run so my total for the week was 3 miles less than last week. I did however get in a long hard ride on Saturday. That felt good
This next week will be the 3rd week of my second 4 week block so I will increase mileage a little more each day and try to get in a longer run on Friday before I start my recovery week the next week. I did my OP core work 6 days and will continue to do that. I'll mix in some bike trainer during the week and my even play soccer tomorrow night if my lower ab thing feels ok.
