I have been dealing with some groin pain/discomfort on my right side for the past six weeks that for the life of me will not go away.  It does not affect my running though (once I warm up) so maybe I can train through it like everything else.

 

Not sure whether in the same spot, but I have had something like this. For me it was in the very low abdomen on the right side. I thought it might even be a hernia, actually had it checked & it was not. It lasted for several months; finally went away for a while, but then came back again for a few months. Fortunately I was able to run through it, like you it was fine after a little warmup. But really got in the way of any abdominal work. I figured it was some kind of muscle strain; those things can just take forever to heal.

 

Yep, I was actually having to lift my right leg with my hands and swing it to get out of my car it was so sore.  I have had my personal trainer and massage therapist push and prod on it but the pain is not acute, it just hurts when I contract the muscle (close my leg or swing it to the left).

 

Even an 800, 600, & 600 mg blast of liquid Advil over a 12 hour period a couple of weeks ago did nothing, and I avoid taking pills like the plague.  Grumble, grumble. 

Maybe it's the psoas?  I have a couple of stretches that can indicate if it is.  I remember that groin pain during my periods of tight psoas.  Hope it's nothing major.

Dave, glad to hear the pain was not bad, if any.

As to RRs, I don't look to see how many people respond to mine.  I just write them and if someone wants to respond, fine.  I do try to respond to every RR posted, unless I am MIA or on vacation or working one of those 80 hour weeks.

I also have had groin pain, a few years ago. I always tell that story here, because it traumatized me.  I was training for a marathon and the pain was so bad that I had to cut my mileage in half and stop all speedwork, because my stride was being limited by the pain. It lasted 5-6 weeks, and in retrospect, I should have stopped running completely for a week or two. I bet it would have healed sooner. I know exactly what caused the injury: I was in a plank contest, everyday doing the plank and trying to outdo everybody like the idiot that I am, and one day, something snapped in the groin after holding that stupid plank too long. Rick, could it be your red cords torture sessions? Maybe a wrong move, or something?

Probably the psoas for you as well.  That fucking muscle goes atop all the core muscles and when we overdo it, it goes on strike.

I might run solo tonight as hubby's shins ache a bit.  So, 6-8 miles if he is not going to run.  Getting ready to watch the World Cup now.

Ugh, I'm super sore from Pilates.  She really killed me when doing side situps while hanging from a little box.

 

So how do you reply to thank people who have responded if you don't look?

 

I am not saying that I check to see how many respond. I am saying that not many here do tri or are interested

So why write a RR for an audience that doesn't exist. I don't write them for myself cause I already know

What happened.

Oh, I go back and read the comments, but I am not looking to see if people responded, is what I meant.  Mine usually turned to other topics rather than the RR themselves, like the last one that concentrated on Gu or something else.  LOL.

And even if most of us are not triathletes, Tri RRs are inspiring and might make others want to "tri" them.  You never know.

Hiya Dailies.

No groin pain here, I'm happy to report.

Just B.S.: Good luck tomorrow. If I could ever get my lazy butt out of the house I would love to do something like that someday. The problem is I don't swim or ride a bike. I would like to try one of tri-relays that Baboon does. Those look like a LOT of fun.

5.5 hot miles for me this morning. Even leaving at 7:00 it's too hot. Tomorrow I am running 10-12 so I guess I should leave by 6:00. Now it's shower time, as my chair, paper, and World Cup await.

Stay cool Dailies.

Oh, I forgot: 150 push-ups done (40-30-20-10, long break, then 2x25 reps). My arms are like noodles. Also 30 minutes stretching. I have never been so inflexible in my whole life. What has running done to me? Now off to clean the house.

My groin hurts today but I kinda have a good reason for that. lol

Good luck, BS!

Lack of flexibility is because we are distance runners.  The longer we run (distancewise) the less flexible we become.  That's why we need to work on that too.

I am back to 60 pushups and I was amazed at how easy I went back up.  Pilates has made me strong.
