I was scheduled to run 8 today, and I knew that would be too much since my R groin (hip flexor/abductor) and right hip have been acting up all week. I took spin yesterday morning and I have felt NO PAIN or even minor discomfort in the last 24 hours. So----I decided to get a run in.
I ended up running a little over 5 miles. I walked most of the 3rd mile---I wanted to see if I felt any pain in the groin or hip when walking. Sitting here writing this, I wonder if I should have run further---pushed myself---run the 8 I had on the schedule. I have been so worried this past week about the injuries and not being able to run the race---Since I started running last August, I had NEVER experienced any pain during or after running--sure, I was sore, but this past week was the first time I actually felt pain from running. On one hand I want the injuries to heal and on the other hand I do not want the endurance I worked hard to build up to falter. Will I be prepared?
