Vacation - lost running time

[Ed]

The first day of my vacation I somehow pulled a muscle.  I do not recall ever feeling the pain of it - I may have done it somehow in my sleep.  The first morning while walking a couple of blocks to the outhouse the muscle on the left inside of my groin area was very tight and I was experiencing pain and it caused me to walk oddly.  The pain lasted until a couple of days ago.

This really sucks because I lost about 10 days of running and I was planning on kicking butt at Al's and setting a new PR.  I am going to work hard until Al's and see where the chips fall.

I lost running as I am the only driver in our household... I got a run in before I drove 8 hours to get to my sister's house but when we took an overnight trip and I had to drive two days in a row it all went to heck, then the drive home also had a shortened workout... but it was still worth it... MY big mistake was coming home, getting up too early to see which pair of shoes I put on, then running with the dog in the dark... combination of (you guessed it) old shoes & the dog being overjoyed to be out running again after being pet-sat by a friend who doesn't run meant I went too fast, too far and NOW my feet, knees and lower back are all killing me... and I have three weeks of laundry at home and too much to do at work besides...so I'm not sure coming home was the best idea

No envy for you right now.  Hope things improve soon.
