8 mile run

This is just an addendum to Lisie's post. My mile splits were the same as hers except my 7th mile was 10:04 and the 8th mile was 10:12. I think I could have done better, but as luck would have it I got a very bad cramp in my left groin at mile 2. I almost stopped because I started to limp badly. I continued to run, but the knot never completely went away, and it affected my left knee due to a change in my foot plant to try to take the pressure off my groin. I was able to stay with Lisa until the beginning of mile 7 when the cramp became very bad again, ironically at the same point it came on going out. I debated whether to stop, but I continued and told Lisie to not hold back for me. I iced both my groin and knee afterward and took 2 ibuprofen. The groin is very tender to certain movements. This is the first significant injury I've had this season. I think I did too much sitting in the car yesterday. Total time was 79:26. 1 minute and 1 second behind Lisie.
