Ouch! So....barely slept last night because my groin hurt every time I moved. Rolling over or moving from one side to another was a near impossibility...Ugggh... I am only a third of the way through training...I soooo can NOT have a groin injury at this point.
Pulled out the other shoes that I bought in Spokane and wore them for today's run, am eating better so my body gets what it needs to repair better, loaded up on Ibuprofen and a "value size" tube of Voltaren and spent my lunch hour doing some hip and hamstring stretching to see if it will help. So far today I am feeling MUCH better than yesterday (though yesterday's run WAS longer). This Saturday is a 13k run....That will be the next test.
However, I keep hearing about the woman who ran the Chicago Marathon last weekend...at 38 weeks pregnant....and gave birth 7 hours after crossing the finish line!?? WTF! SERIOUSLY??? Who does that!!?? Ok, that puts my achy girl bits in a little better perspective. Suck it up, Schmidt.... At least you're not carrying another human along with you when you run....a human who is trying to get out no less! Yikes! THAT is commitment.
7 hours later? Holy. That is nuts. Hmm.. But here groin didn't hurt DURING her run. Just 7 hours later.
