Ouch!

Sunday 25th January:
5 miles (clockwise) 50:54. The run went ok. Few twinges in at the back of my right thigh, but I am comfortable that I can cope with this by reducing my speed. Possibly introducing some short (slightly) faster paced runs to strengthen whatever is struggling. I was quite pleased that the time was ok even though I thought that I was running quit slowly. The training must be helping!

I was doing some warming down stretches when I got back only to feel a sharp pain at the front right of my right thigh. It has hurt ever since. Something is definitely not right. It doesn't feel too bad in normal position and I may even be able to run on it. But I definitely can't stretch.
I was doing a "runners stretch", with my left leg bent out front and my right leg straight out behind me when the problem occurred. Bit concerned at the moment, but at least I still have time to recover (I hope).
Rest day tomorrow!
