BIKE 26 miles in 90 mins, 2x (18 min, 9 min)
RUN held off...
After consulting Dr Google I think I've injured the gracilis muscle in my right thigh. It's the muscle connecting to a pubis bone, the one that is stretched in a seated butterfly stretch, the one muscle that pops out to the top in that stretch, the one my hand rests on in that stretch...trying to explain this clearly for future reference.
Doesn't hurt to walk, go up or down stairs, or kick in the swim. I'm also having some discomfort in my buttock/glut area, probably all connected. (duh, ya think?)
I've found stretches and strength training exercises for this, and I've re-dedicated to including more strength training and stretching day-to-day. This really is likely due to muscle imbalances and my lack of focus on those aspects of training. The month of March wasn't kind to distraction or spare time.
So I did the bike and skipped the run. The 2nd reason I skipped the run was to get home from work in time to walk the doggie and have a Whole30-esque dinner with DH. A run, even a short 30 min one, would have made me late and I would have missed dinner. Two good reasons to skip, before I add in the needed rest for the leg.
But I slept in until 5:37, 45-60 mins late...and that's the bigger problem!
Dinner went great, expect I kept nomming afterwards! So Stop Nomming!
