Just when it was going so well

I have pulled my groin muscle me thinks!

I am not sure what happened I was fine during my run, I felt something but thought it was just due to lack of activity and nothing major. I did cool down walk no problem, went to the supermarket, walked back to the apartment. Went for a walk to pick up some last minute holiday stuff. Slight twinge and now hobbling!

I think I will ice tomorrow. Fudge

Oh no Vix, such bad new, such bad timing!! Really hope it was just a spasm rather than a full on strain. Fingers crossed you're feeling better this morning. Groin strain is a tricky one though. For a start, how do you take a foam roller to it without feeling like your in a 1960s saucy postcard!! ;) xxx

Oh flippin eck! What a nuisance. I do hope rest and ice does the trick but you'll have to rest up a few days and reduce your mileage on foot as well. Hopefully it's not serious and with a bit of TLC you'll be good to go shortly

Baz! Really! Ha ha

Thank you, I am hoping its superficial. Hopefully it will be all ok, as next week it's all action, so hoping resting it will do the trick!!

Aw poo. Just when you'd got over your cold, too :( Take yourself a bit of rest (yup, again, I know it stinks...) and we'll all pray to the running gods that it gets better soon.
