Pretty much took it easy most of Saturday and today after the 18-miler, helped in large part by the fact it rained a lot. Went to the grocery around 4, then after that decided to get my run in before Pam and Tyler got home from Camden. Only then did I discover that the abs, or the iliopsoas or whatever the heck is hurting, are back with a vengenance. Hurt during the run, hurt a lot more after it. It was still raining, or misting, as I ran, which succeeded only in washing skin oil down into my eyes, so I was basically running blind. Not a comfortable run by any means, between the abs and the eyes. Kept it to a 10:00 pace. Then got home, iced the abs, which helped for a while, did some core strengthening (which probably made it worse), watched a little Olympic swimming, then went to bed. Around 2, the muscles had stiffened again, so I got up to take something and decided to update the blog. I'll ice some more at work, I think, but may h ave to put off the 10-miler I'm supposed to do Monday night. |
