Not Such A Good Morning

It was +49 when I was ready to go but, again, very windy and it felt cold out there. I decided I just didn't want to fight it. So, I went down to the TM. And it's a good thing because I quit at 2 miles!

We went to the Osceola Braves games last night to hear Megan sing the National Anthem. She was excellent, of course, but when we left after the first inning I fell in the bleachers and must have pulled a muscle in my left groin area because it was really hurting while running this morning. I finally just quit at 2 miles! I'm sure it's nothing serious or permanent and just needs rest which it will get because I won't run now until Saturday morning in Eau Claire. Last night when I fell I thought the only thing I hurt was my pride. Guess not.

I really, really need a 10 mile run on Monday for my confidence to return. It's been a bad 2 weeks here in the running department.

Groin injury??? Pride injury??? Both bad! I'm sorry to hear about this but you're probably right and a couple of days off will set you straight. Maybe you will have access to a gym and can ride a bike while you are gone?

I'm with you on needing the long run. I've been doing short runs since this sinus infection hit and I really need to get back on track. Makes me nervous!

I'm feeling fine tonight so am sure it was just a temporary strain.

I will be running a 5K in Eau Claire on Saturday morning and then I really need at least 10 miles on Monday. My confidence is slipping here because I haven't been able to get out there so I really need one more longer run.

I'm sure glad you're already on the upswing. Injuries are scary. Especially this close to our big event!

Did you get an update from Grandma's this year? They are doing the text message updates again!

Yeah I see they are doing that again.
