Sat 5/9 - 80 minutes very easy

Lincoln woods. Inflammation started to calm down by yesterday afternoon, but it took all of three minutes for the familiar sorenesses to return. Had to stop at one point for an extended period to bypass a flooded trail and the pain was nearly unbearable upon resumption of running. It moderated somewhat but was there throughout to one degree or another. Last weekend's foolhardy attempt at a workout did further damage and spread the problem up into the lowermost abdominals, very tender spot at that attachment on the pubic bone as well as within the muscle itself. Went for an evening bike ride, an activity that was much less painful. That and a possible return to aquajogging in frigid Walden are my immediate future when it comes to exercise.

Thu 5/7, Fri 5/8 - off

the jig is up, well after I should have thrown in the towel in fact but what can you do. Taking it easy until the ongoing complications of the adductor strain of 7 weeks ago finally do sort themselves out. That being said, I'm obligated to run with the kids on Saturday, not looking forward to how the hip will feel at any point during that.
