Ran with Cheri through town and on the bike trails. Felt the best I have since the marathon. Had fun catching up and just enjoyed todays run, no weird aches or pains today.

Had thoughts of getting up earlier and getting some extra mileage before meeting the girls like I had been doing before the marathon but that idea was quickly shut down when the alarm went off, reset it and then just met up with them for our usually 6. Legs felt so fresh today, pushed it the last 1/2 mi and wanted more but had to get back for work.

Slept in til 7. Ran easy down to the start of the swiss days 5k route, ran the route (marathon pace) and then ran home. (easy)  Took me the first mile of the 5k to get moving but then felt pretty decent, would forget at some points that I needed to be pushing hard and realized I slacking and then would pick it up. First mile was 7:01 and the next two were 6:40's. Felt good to get the sub 7's, since I have not ran a sub 7 since mile 15 or 16 of the marathon:)

So onto other things, so I have had a slight issue in my lower ab/groin  (just like Tom and Cal, except mine is slight compared to theirs). Went to a sports med doc today and have a inguinal ligament strain that invloves the poas and pectineus muscle. He does not think mine is a sports hernia or athletes pubuglia (slightly different area) so that is good. Doesnt hurt to run but gets achy after and hurts with pretty much every other movement. Rolling over, bending over and getting up, lifting, sneezing, making the bed., pushups, weights, pretty much ANything that involves me using my lower ab hurts or feels like its going to tear. Totally tolerable pain but can defineltely feel it. So anyways I am supposed to take it easy and do some physical therapy work to strengthen that area. So I will try to take it easy and incorporate some cross training.  Like I said it does not hurt to run so I dont have to stop running but just take it easy. So a winter marathon is probably out for me, I dont want to make it worse.

Had a very good run with Peg and Heidi, they both needed to be back for football games so we had a good little pace going. It was a little chillier today.  Get to go see April today, havent been since before the marathon and feel like I need a good workover.
