Hill work and Hernia/Groin

Good hill work today.
Was warmer outside.
The salt burns the eyes!
Had a few pick-ups on up and down hills while recovering on the flats.
Short PT after. 100 sit, 50 push, 10 pullPlayed some Frisbee after.

Have been doing mucho (more now in comparison to none) stretching after runs and in the evening before bed. The hips have loosened up but the hernia/groin thing still lingers. It's not impacting running. It's just irritating. Charles told me that he experienced pain similar to this. He suspects it is related to tight hips. That very well could be the case. Hence, mucho mucho hip stretches.

Okay, now I'm wondering. How does one stretch the hips?

You're getting in a good variety these days. Frisbee is always fun too. Except in the wind. Wind spoils fun.

Good mileage it seems that you have! I am sort of hesitant to do too much because there are only paved trails around here...I sort of miss the gravel of NE!

Maybe use Icy Hot or something before run? Make it numb?

Wind does spoil fun, but not when you are trying to fly a kite. When you are kiting, having no wind results in no fun.

Hip stretches includes stretching the groin, hip flexors, IT band, quads, and other muscles around the hip attachments. I'm sure Anton or Charles could tell you the specific names.
