MOST importantly... 61 Days until Saint George Marathon. 


 After the whole pulled groin issue I stayed away from running for 9 days.  Swam all of those 9 days.  Ice Bathed for most of them.  Stretched. Foam Rolled. Stretched some more.  By this past Saturday I was feeling good.  No pain - so I decided to give my scheduled half marathon a 'GO'.  BAD IDEA FOLKS.  I am getting so nervous that I keep putting myself back further and further in my St George Marathon training.  61 days today is all I have left...Advice???

    get your groin checked out asap. there are many bones, muscles, tendons in that area that can cause issues. better safe than sorry!

    Nice work with all the swimming/cross training!

    Aw shoot, I wish I had some advice for your groin injury...is it a sharp pain when you push down on it?

    The sharp pain (when stepping on it) in my left hip/butt/groin area was what clued me in on my stress fracture. But I'm not exactly sure what yours feels like...fingers crossed that it's not a stress fracture!

    Stress fractures are annoying, can only be diagnosed by bone scan or MRI...(normal x-rays don't show anything.)

    I am absolutely FASCINATED by you, because of your hiking tab.

    I love hiking. Love it. Your list of hikes conquered and hikes "to do" is so perfect, I want to steal it! I hope to read more about your hikes. I'd love to hear more about the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim! It's a bummer that hike is only available in the hotter (none-snow) months, because I am afraid of GC in the summer (both for heat and tourism reasons).

    I also want to hear more about fruitarian-ism. Can't quite grasp what that is.

    (p.s. 3 cheers for the atheism and libertarian angle...I'm with you on both)
