A problem with left groin

About 90K total during the week after the trip. Last four days in my parents’ summer cottage resulted in 7K + 7K on monday (4K Elmo special in 13.07 – 6.27, 6.40) and the 18K Salonsaari route on tue & wed (times 1.22 and 1.23). The quick one on monday gave me a new kind of problem with my legs: pain in the left groin. I think I started to develop it on the beach runs over a week ago. My major mistake was not to listen to the increasing pain but to keep on hitting the road. This was the first time ever I feel pain in there so I thought it must be next to nothing. Even after the quick one I did two slow 18Ks with pains while I now think I should have taken nothing but rest. Now I’ll do. Indeed, I read a couple of horror stories on the net of how difficult a problem this can be… I can only hope the best.
