It's been almost 3 weeks since my injury.  I tried running a little, but after .5, I could feel the pain.  So I stopped and walked a little, then tried running again.  After another .5, I realized it was really hurting, and I had to remind myself it wasn't worth another 3 week set-back to keep running.

So I guess I'm in this recovery for the long haul.  I'll keep walking and try some short runs along the way.  But I'm not pushing anything beyond my comfort level.  I've got to be ready to run with RAD in July, and I'll need everything to work just right so I can try and keep up with her.....who am I kidding....I'll never keep up with her, but I'll at least need to try and keep going behind her!

She's in great shape now, so at least the view will be good while I follow behind her.  :-)

Ran 1.5 w/o needing to stop.  Did the stretching & ice after.  Felt good the rest of the night.

After my small success yesterday, I was motivated this morning to go out and try it again.

I managed 3.5 miles of straight running.  I could feel it at the end, but I stretched & iced and I'm hoping it will be good the rest of the day.

Still sore from the 3.5 on Wednesday.  Took yesterday off, but I just needed to run today.  So I ran anyway.  I ran 3. It felt so good to run.  My groin is sore, but I stretched and iced it, and I took some pills to manage the pain.

I just need to run.  Too many demons knocking on my door, and running seems to be the only healthy thing I can do to quiet them.  I think Tennessee sour mash would help too, but that would only unlock new demons later down the road.

Ran 6 today.  The first 2 miles were hilly, and my groin was aching like crazy.  I'd stretched and warmed up before hand, but it was still a tough start.

After the first couple miles, the course flattened out and I just felt great.  It was an out and back, so by the last 1/2 mile, I was feeling sore again.  I don't know if it was from the hills, or just the distance.  It sure did feel great to run again.

Did a 1.7 cool down walk.
