The Day After = Pain!

Today I ran an easy five miles to see how my lower abdomen/groin would feel after runing relatively hard yesterday. It was much more painful than it had been. For the first half mile or so, there was a sharp pain in my lower abdomen that I could barely stand. I pushed through the pain to see how I would run after I was warmed up. It was better, but there was still too much pain. Even sitting here at my desk an hour and a half later, I can still feel pain whenever I move, shift my weight, etc.

At this point, I'm looking at no running until I feel healed. Based on previous experience, I think I'll be out of commission for a week or so. Once I'm running painfree, I'll make a decision on a fall marathon. However, I don't like my chances.
