Disappointed I didn't do more-- IT band started giving me grief, but the hip flexor is totally fine. Maybe the pain is just moving down my left leg and will exit via my foot! Opted to cut the run short than risk more injury... hard to know if it's a pain to push through or to lay off of. How do you decide?

    I feel your pain...non pun intended. Does your pain hurt the most the first few miles? I know mine does I either start feeling numb towards it or my body is over compensating to avoid it. Like you, I am curious if I should lay off of it until the marathon. Curious to hear suggestions.

    Finding the "right" balance for yourself, is unfortunately, done by trial and error. And that "right" balance changes as you change. Learning from my own trial and error, lately I usually go conservative. When I feel persistent pain as I run, I don't think twice about cutting it short.

    My humble and totally novice opinion is you should lay off it - marathon day is fast approaching and I think your motto now should be "do no harm". On 3/7, then you can push through it.

    Totally agree Pauline-- save it for the race day. I wanted to run today--but my body is rebelling big time. I remember when running made me feel better--not worse. Maybe I'm not made for the marathon...and I should go back to the halfers. We'll see I guess. Are you still planning on doing the SF Half?

    I'm not making firm plans, but I'd love to do a half in under 2 hours this year. The SF Half in July might be a bit soon for that, I dunno.
