I had a very painful run this morning I ran 2 miles and then I just came home, very disappointing. I then went and jumped on the elliptical and did 40 minutes there and then my groin seemed to loosen up again so I ran a mile on the treadmill and it seemed to do okay but it was a little more painful than yesterday. I'm really thinking of just taking the next three weeks off and then see how it heals up and go from there, I certainly can't run SG the way things are right now so I don't know. I am really ticked off!!! I go to the Dr today so I will see what he thinks... Maybe I will just go down and support all the bloggers and cheer them on, thats kind of what I'm leaning towards, since I can't get any refunds on my rooms now;-(

See ya tomorrow.

I am so sorry your injury is preventing your training. You hopping on the elliptical after serious disappointment shows that you are a fighter. I might have grabbed a chocolate donut at Chevron instead :D Like you have said before, there is no point running St G just to run it, so an early October St G vacation is in your future?
