* Still trying to run through an abductor magnus/gracilis (groin) injury. Decided to super-load it and see how it responds. Am able to run well, with no limit in motion, but the pain persists and is constant. Am doing countless drills and stretching and treatment, but not much improvement on the muscle group. Will continue to train through until it either tears or gets better (always my philosophy on injury). Worked very well on my long run on Sunday, working down the last mile to sub-6:10 in Tropical Storm Alberto. Will seek more treatment this up-coming week.
