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?

Race: RRS 2nd 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:24:06, Place in age division: 2

MRTC RRS 2nd 5K, 7 am.  It was hot and humid, but unlike last time, you could actually breathe.  My time was better than last race but still not where I'd like to be.  Passed in the last few yards by another lady in my age group, so not sure what my division place is yet (turns out 2nd grandmasters).  There were a few superfast masters age groupers way ahead.

Have not been able to push the pace much in training or racing yet because the psoas muscle is still sore.  Trying not to do any heavy lifting this week to see if that makes a difference.  Keeping up 2 training runs per day as my work schedule permits.  That seems to allow me to put in more distance without the strain on the back muscle.

Next up are the 5 milers in august.
