2:59 in the NJ marathon in May 2010. Sub 17 in a 5K and sub 60 in a 10-miler next year as well.
But enough about my groin. Have you SEEN the weather out there? :)
My first run in 5 days went well. I thought I felt the groin early on but it never came back, so I consider this a success. I'm still worried it's lingering in there so I may be cut... read more
Hoping today is the last day of torture watching beautiful 60-degree sunny days float by without a run. I'll take the groin out for a spin tomorrow and see what shakes out.
Nice! If all goes well will you still be doing the 5k?
1 day agoHow are you feeling? Getting better?
about 13 hours agoI feel fine, thanks for asking. I've never been in pain, but I've been scared if I didn't rest this slight strain it may get worse and jeopardize my May marathon. We'll see how an easy 5 today goes.

Happy St. Patty's!
You too!
2 days agoI totally don't look like this BTW. The hair, the face, it's all wrong.
2 days agoBeeyootiful night, so I got in some single-speedin with the little man. Then some Wii Biking. The little man likes him some bikin.
Taking a break from running for a few days. The groin/upper leg strain is still present, and everything I've read says a few days' rest can help avoid many months rest later. This may cancel the 5K this weekend but that's okay -- the marathon in 6 wee... read more
Smart move, you don't want to jeopardize running your marathon. It will be tough, but take it easy for a week.
4 days agoSmart move, I found out the hard way that pushing through pain is a BAD idea.
Hope the rest helps you get back on your feet quickly!
Thanks peeps. Hopefully I'm back on the road to 2:59 one day soon.
3 days agoI can recall exclaiming how happy I was with a sub 7min pace 12-miler a couple months ago. Today the same run felt totally blah. I guess it's a testament to how well my training has gone overall these past few months. 5k this coming weekend.
That's amazing! Have you been following a particular training plan or something you designed yourself?
5 days agoGreat pace for a boring run!!
5 days agoThanks folks. Not much of a training plan Brian, just trying to get 40-50 miles each week, tempo runs and stay healthy. Haven't put in a steady 40 mpw since age 19 so I have no idea what I can do.
5 days agoWell done! Best of luck on your 5k coming up!
5 days agoSuper fast DM veteran Remi H. is running for a great charity all this month. Check out what he's doing:

I tweaked something in my upper leg/groin area yesterday and although it doesn't hurt, I can feel a slight strain. So I kept this easy day as easy as possible. 5K in 10 days and marathon in 7 weeks.
hope you feel better soon!
8 days agoTake it easy.. good idea easing up today.
8 days agoI hope it feels better quick Justin!
8 days agoNot great. This is a brutal workout as the hills are super steep, but I would have liked to have felt better. First interval workout in a while so I guess I should have expected it.
Nice, your loving them hills now!
9 days agoThanks peeps. No clue what I'm running next weekend at the local 5K but I know I want to rock it.
9 days agonice run! good pace for steep hills! good luck with that 5k next weekend!
