| Way to suck. |
Ah, there is nothing like not rocking your goal race that turned into your let's-have-fun race after your PR then your let's-go-for-it half during the first 3 miles then your let's-finish-without-an-IV race after mile 6, freaking out about college, and taking 2 AP tests in two days to make a girl want to RUN HER BUTT OFF. Except ohhh waitt.... that ain't gonna happen because....
Psoas on Sunday: Girl, I hate you.
Me: Let's walk on the treadmill and be active!
Psoas: (cue shooting pains in groin)
Psoas on Monday: Woo, spin feels great!
Me: Woo, spin feels great!
Psoas, one hour later: Girl, I hate you.

| WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME?! |
This lead to me awkwardly stretching my groin before swim practice, but oddly, afterwards, no pain!!!! until..... Later today. It seems if I am sedentary for a while, it tightens up, and I was working for a couple of hours on art and English projects and didn't get up a whole lot, so by 5 o'clock I was tighter than compression socks. Coach SuperW said no running 'til tomorrow anyway, but I got my Runner's World and made the mistake of taking it with me when I went to spin solo today, which led to massive amounts of run-envy and race-induced drueling.
However, today the groin decided to be normal and not tighten up after working out, so I am hoping I can run tomorrow, especially since I promised my friend Morgan a spin class + a track workout, and who am I to skip out on sweating, since I seem to be so good at it??
In other news, this break from running has given me time to re-evaluate my running and contemplate low mileage with more cross-training and purposeful workouts vs. high-mileage. What's your opinion? Which one will make me more of a speed demon?
Also, new exercise goal, inspired by my serious love of spinning and Masters swimming: TRIATHLONS, BABY. Outdoors.3 sports. More intensity. Let's do it.
