I may have to rename this blog sloweroldrunner.com.
In the last 100 meters of my long run on June 24, 2021, I felt a slight pull in my right groin muscle. I took it easy for a couple of days by taking more frequent walking breaks in my runs.
The pain went away, and I had two good races this past weekend. On Monday, two miles into an easy run, I felt the issue again.
That day, I slowed down. It wasn’t easy to run on Tuesday. So, I walked a couple of miles.
Today, I went out for my usual weekly long run, planning to walk every six minutes.
I could not push off to run without pain. So, I ended up walking the 11-mile route.
My usual time for this run is 1:45 to 1:55. Today, it took 2:42.
I guess I’ll keep stretching and walking for the next week and see what it feels like next Thursday.
Devil’s Den might be a 10-mile walk.
