Lovely evening track workout today.  Low humidity, low 70s, light breeze.  Did 2.5 mile warmup steadily dropping pace from 8:30 to 7:00, then stretching and flexibility before 4X200 (34, 33, 31, 29) and 4X100 barefoot striders.  Finished up with two laps of infield.  Wanted to run fast and see how sore my lower abs are tomorrow - "sportsman's hernia" really bugging me.  Takes almost the entire first mile now before the stiffness/soreness eases up, but then I can finish a workout like tonight with no pain during the workout.  Based on my past experience, I may be pretty sore tomorrow - grrrrrr.

Nice work Doug - the weather the last two days has been perfect! So is that sportsman's hernia self-diagnosed?

Duh! Just like my appendicitis, stress fractures, and transient global amnesia. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Everything points to that. Its quite manageable. Pretty much goes away completely when I don't do a lot of sprinting. It took a long time to kick in this year - had no issues through the indoor meet back in March, but now its creeping in as I get fitter and run faster - ah well. Seems the only "cure" is surgery, and that is really only because they slice a couple nerves so you don't feel the pain anymore - I choose pain.
