Training in Montana

4 miles this morning. 50 degrees, hands cold on the out but warmed up on the back. It's definitely getting to that gloves-maybe time of year. After the marathon I don't know if I'll keep running in the morning or switch to lunchtime like I did before summer. We'll see. The run felt okay, but I'm concerned about a couple spots on my body and I'm hoping that they're nothing. Saturday at football I tweaked my groin stepping up onto the stands a little too high. I've got a history of a groin problem - likely the right adductor muscle. I normally do weights a few times a week that fixes that groin problem, but since I haven't been to the Y all summer I haven't been doing weights. I did some today after my run and hopefully I'll fix the groin. Next issue is behind my right knee I've had some twinges of very minor muscle pain. I iced it last week but it wasn't too bad. Feeling it more today, but oddly didn't feel it after Saturday's long run. I'll ice it tonight and hope it's nothing. Then as I was heading home this morning I had pain in my right big toe, like I'd stubbed it. I've never felt pain in that toe, so I'm hoping it's just taper madness setting in. I've heard that all these aches and pains creep up in the last couple weeks and hoping that all the above is just that.
