The day after Sunday's 18K, I felt pain in my right groin, actual pain. Lifting my knee to my waist hurt. Getting in and out of the car hurt. I decided to take Tuesday and Thursday off to rest it. On Friday, I did some very light run/walks with Kyrie and it felt fine. On Sunday, we were supposed to run only 12K so I decided to give it a try..
After about 5.5K, I felt a slight twinge so decided to turn back. I walked much of the way, jogging short distances and then stretching my leg to see how it felt. I didn't feel pain. I did run the last kilometre when my running partner caught up to me.
The leg feels fine 12 hours later but I still want to be careful with it.
On the way back I decided to time myself walking. I walked 1K in 8'44". Last week, I ran 18K in just under 110 minutes. 8'44" x 3 is just over 26 minutes. If I had to walk 3K, I would finish in 2 hours 16 minutes - one minute over my goal. That gives me lots of leeway when I run the half marathon in October.
