Easy 3 mile groin pull

Someday I will learn to do my stretches. I will do my stretches and decrease my chances of injury.

Until then, I will suffer from such pains as groin pulls.

I knew the muscle in my right leg was not doing well before I ran the 12 miles on Monday...but like the stubborn girl that I am, I ran it anyway. Today I was better to myself. I ran an easy 3 miles and took it slow.

30 minutes of running feels like nothing now. Yipee...I'm improving. Now just imagine how much better I'll get when I do my stretches! And YES, I'm going to do them. Why?

Because if I don't, I will NEVER run that marathon. This I understand and acknowledge. From now on...I'm doing at least 15 minutes of stretches right after I run. No excuses!!

For the record- I ran Westville, Pointed Rocks & Paymaster.

I saw one other runner and 3 bicyclists. Tomorrow is a day off. Then another light run on Friday to round out the week. Next week I will get plenty of exercise, but not from running. Unless you would consider running all over Disneyland, a vigorous activity.
