I ran out towards mini GU corner but my leg was hurting pretty bad and then I stopped and took out the lift that my Dr. had given me and then started running again. The pain was a lot less in fact it was tolerable, so I ran up over Harry's hill and then down past the stake center and then out to my 2 mile mark and then headed for home, I started to have stomach issues with about a mile left and I also started to cramp because of those issues, boy did it hurt... I was able to talk to Kent Wing at the top of Harry's and he said that it didn't sound like my groin was giving me the problem so he gave me some sound advice and I am going to try it these next few weeks. He was able to describe to me my symptoms with out me mentioning a word, so I will be trying it the next few weeks and see how it goes. I was able to run a couple of sub 8 minute miles which is my new marathon pace because of the injury, but I still have some pain and I have some work to do these last few weeks. I still plan on taking it easy for the most part but I'm hoping for the best.

Total time was 1:34:12, average pace was right around 9:00.

See ya later.

Nice run Bro. Hang in there, and I can't wait to here what sound advice you received today.
