Running 58:24 [3] 6.0 mi (9:44 / mi)
rhr:52 slept:6.0 weight:159lbs shoes: Wave Nirvana 3
I sent Molly & Sophie out on a three mile run; assignment: steady pace under 30 minutes total. Steve and I paced them the first mile or so, then inched ahead. It wasn't that we were burning up the road. We both felt like taking it slow. Me, for soreness, he, for stomach pain. We both struggled with the last three miles. My guess is that either of us would have baled on this run if we were alone. But together, we pushed on.
I felt a sharp twinge in the left groin at mile 5. I relaxed my stride and waited for it to fade. No go. I adjusted my gate. No change. I told Steve what I was experiencing. We went another 200 meters. No relief. He suggested a stop and some high knees. I tried it, then started back up at an even slower pace. At first there was no change. Then, very oddly, the pain moved. It went down my leg to the upper thigh. The groin was still aching, but not sharply. The pain then moved to the lower thigh, the upper calf, the lower calf, and finally settled in the ball of my foot. I thought I was imagining it. Steve jokingly said "You should be good when we see it pop out of your toes." After 3/4's of a mile of "Oh my god pain" it was a non issue - a residual memory of soreness. I was able to finish with dignity.
The run was slow, but successful.
