I'm not sure if you remember my little recap from last week, but I had mentioned I had a bit of a twinge in my left hip flexor/ groin. Well, it was still there this week so I took a couple extra rest days. I would rather show up to my race feeling slightly undertrained (at this point I am as trained as I will be, the last two weeks are just easy sailing runs) than feel like I am injured or burnt out. I spent those extra rest days (or at least a couple hours a day) foam rolling, stretching and trying to get the body back to 100%. It was like walking/ hiking uphill didn't bother it at all, walking/ hiking downhill there was a little bit of a niggle, but running (maybe the pounding impact) I could feel it every step, so I decided to hike our neighborhood hill to get time on feet and some vert without pain. Here's hoping by next week that little tweak has worked itself out. 

How were your workouts this past week?
