Don't wanna be FAT!

I was still feeling Saturday's run. My groin muscle on the left side was a little sore, something to watch. Good run. Very nice morning outside this morning. AP: 7:05.  

I mentioned yesterday that I had some groin pains, well today that pain was a lot worse.  So I decided to turn around .4 miles into the run and go back home and ice it.  Hopefully nothing a little rest and ice can't fix.  

Took it nice and easy this morning.  Groin felt a lot better than it did yesterday.  It was a little tender but it didn't get any worse throughout the run.  I will continue to ice it and will not run hard until at least Saturday.  AP:  6:51.  

The plan was to run 10 miles at 7:00 minute pace or just a little faster. Well I got into the run and the groin was feeling really good so this ended up being a good little 6 mile progressive run. The groin felt great the whole run, Yay!  Splits today were:  7:32, 7:08, 7:05, 6:12, 5:56, 5:58, 5:45, 5:34, 5:23, 6:29.   Nothing super tough or fast but a much better workout than the planned 10 at 7:00.  

We got out to the Fort Collins Colorado area late Thursday night to visit with the family of my wife's sister. I slept in a little bit and so it was quite hot on my run. I ran on dirt roads that had a lot of rolling hills. I wish I had some dirt roads to run on near my house, I really like running on dirt roads for some reason. This was a pretty good run. AP: 6:37.  

At 4:00 a.m. Penny my 6 month old woke up and after 30 minutes of trying to get her back to sleep I gave up and decided to take her on my run with me. I had been planning on doing 20 miles with hopefully 12 miles at around 5:40 pace. Needless to say I did not get the 12 miles at 5:40 pace in pushing the baby in the stroller. I did however get 20 miles in pushing the baby in the stroller on the dirt roads with lots of rolling hills. This ended up being a challenging run and I believe it was a great strength building run and strength building is what I would have been trying to accomplish with the 12 miles at 5:40 pace.  I was glad to have gotten the run in early too, because by the time I finished it was already really hot.  AP: 7:24.
