Day # 53: 6 Mile Run w/ Groin Injury

Ouch. All of last night I pretty much stayed awake with a pain in my right groin from over-extending for a kick during the game. Today at work I still felt the pain and had to walk around the office favoring the muscle. Tonight, I knew I had to stay dedicated to the training program, but not overdo it and sustain a permanent injury. As a result, I ended up running the full 6 miles tonight, but ran it extremely slow (apprx. 9 min/mile avg). I finished the 6 mile run in 52:18. This was actually a mixed blessing. I really needed to log a few slower runs and was able to because of my injury. I look forward to resting the muscle tomorrow and getting ready for my Men's league soccer game on Saturday.
