This training cycle has been a bit rough for me. I've had an injury that keeps cropping back up (or never fully heals). It's a pain right in the crease of my leg, perhaps a groin strain? It might be my hip flexor though, I'm not sure. It usually acts up when I'm pushing myself hard on a run (typically during speed work). It starts as just a little twinge but then if I continue to run it escalates to the point where I have to stop running.
I've spent the past few days at Disneyland with my family and we did a lot of walking. I realized that I don't have a good pair of walking shoes so I just wore my Saucony Kinvaras which aren't a really supportive shoe. Plus Evan was teething and had a cold and wanted to be carried whenever we were waiting in line. I think the combo of the two aggravated it more as I started feeling the pain all of the time, even when I wasn't running.
I managed to run 3 miles yesterday and I did feel it but the pain didn't get bad enough that I had to stop running. I'm supposed to run 13 miles tomorrow but I don't think that's wise. I've made an appointment to see my doctor on Monday. Hoping just a few days of rest will help. With the half marathon 3 weeks away I really don't want to miss out on too many more training days.
