No running, trying to give the abdomen a rest. Instead, I swam 500m at Steiner. I can assure you of one thing ... I am not a strong swimmer.

Abdomen pain + early meeting = another day off.

I thought I would get out the door this morning and test the ab pain. For the first few miles, the big problem was feeling like I weighed 225 pounds and sluggishly moving up 4th Ave. That's what "rest" gets you.  I mostly felt ok, no sharp pains (certainly nothing like Saturday), but I decided to keep it short and test it again tomorrow. There is some discomfort on both sides of the abdomen and I wonder if there is something other than a muscle tear going on. The time to get checked out is probably approaching.

Yep, still cranking out the big miles. In other words, no improvement on the abdominal pain issue. I think it's some kind of muscle tear (hopefully) and not a hernia. It really is difficult to run past 5 miles without real pain.  The first few miles aren't bad.

Another day, another 5.5 miles of abdominally impaired mileage.  I could blame the gift basket of holiday treats I devoured yesterday, but that would be unfair and not entirely accurate. I'll try to get in 8-10 tomorrow and see how it goes.

Running with the group, a loop course starting and ending at Cocoa Cafe where they sell hot chocolate with the consistency of pudding.
