New Shoes and a Pulled Groin

Remember the last post, where I was so proud of running through my exhaustion? Well, maybe I should have taken that as a hint that my body needed to rest. But, alas, I am an obsessed idiot and decided to get in a few miles before I sat at happy hour downing margaritas and eating fried tortilla chips with greasy cheese. By about 1.5 miles, I started to have a burn in the woman area and I thought I just had undies that were riding. Nope. By mile 2.5, I knew it was a muscle, and I hobbled in with some serious groin pain at 3 miles.

By that evening, and into the next morning, I could barely walk. Good thing Friday was a rest day! The part of my brain that does still have some sense of logic is telling me that I will be taking Saturday off as well even though my groin feels almost back to normal. Will I complete the 20 I had planned for the weekend tomorrow? We'll see how the first few miles go. I'm sad though because I was supposed to get my 20 out of the way today and then meet a friend at the trails tomorrow for a recovery run. BOO! I want the trail run, but she is doing her long run today, so I will be forced to the route I run EVERY day.

Have you ever ordered from Running Warehouse? It's probably the best store ever! I received my two new pairs of shoes this week (of course pictures are coming at the bottom) and was super pleased to pay only $112 for a pair of road Mizunos and a pair of trail Mizunos (yes $112 total! I know, right?!). My first trail shoes! See why I'm so sad not to be heading to the trails tomorrow??? Good thing it's spring break after this week and my hubby has it off as well. I am seeing a few trail mornings in my future! One other plug about Running Warehouse is the FREE two day shipping that really does only take two days!

And, because why not make this the longest post ever? I haven't posted an outfit for awhile, so here is my attempt at choosing the girliest outfit I could for the day after being in the woods with jeans and a ponytail!
