Having spent yesterday laying down, recovering from the Big Gym Day, I was feeling much better today and attempted an easy run. Also, it was a lovely day outside. It's October in Quebec, so these days must be taken advantage of while they last!
I took a 7.5 km route and ran it at a very moderate pace to finish in 49 minutes. This is 5 minutes slower than last time I did this route, almost exactly a month ago. Legs and lungs felt fine; I took minute breaks every 10 min for breath and water.
However, felt an ongoing twinge of discomfort in my lower ab/adductor/hip flexor area. It was constant while running, and disappeared when I walked. Slowed me down a little.
Google-based research on anatomy of pelvic-related muscles has led me to suspect that I've strained something related to the muscles that attached to the pubic crest. Ick. I read about pelvic girdle pain (PGP), and Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) , I'm nervous about tweaking something that will cause big problems (ie: pain!) in the months to come. So, I'm resting for a few days (including not playing my scheduled frisbee game on Sunday), while I plan my strategy for future "safe" workouts.
