RRS 1st 5K.  Have been in physical therapy for 6 weeks for a psoas muscle injury.  Was leary about pushing too much since it still hurts when I do, but not as bad as it did.  It was hot, humid, and hard to breathe even at 7 am.  Disappointed in my race time - same course last year was 23:30.  Any suggestions from the blog on how to get back there with this injury?

Hey there! I don't know anything about that muscle. I would keep in PT.

The psoas muscle is in the back, a deep muscle, on each side, extends around to the front. I have been doing the stretching and core-strengthening exercises recommended by the PT. When I first went to PT, she said, 'this muscle is on fire', which is exactly how it felt. It is better than it was, and now only hurts when I really push my running pace, or when I sit for long periods of time (which my job requires), or do a lot of bending over or lifting. The injury seems to be an overuse injury and is related to not enough core strength.
