I have had a lingering groin pain for a month now and have kept running on it. I think it is a small muscle tear and am really worried with all the races I have coming up. So I took yesterday off from running. I will take today and Sunday off too and see how it feels Monday when I run 5 miles with the Mt Gleason Runners (http://mgrunningteam.com). Will that stop me from exercising, hell no! I plan on going to LA Fitness and swim 120 laps and then do a core workout. Later I will return to the gym for some biceps and chest.

These past 2 months I lost focus on my goal (Boston). Now it is time to really focus, tweak my diet and train better. First preview race is next Saturday in Irvine (So Cal half Marathon http://teamtrax.net/schalfmarathon) with Students Run LA (www.srla.org).
