Great Progress tilll.... back to square 1

I did the Turkey Trot 10K this past weekend. It did not go well. Now, I've had no hip psoas pain for many months now. I attributed it to doing renewed abductor work, running form change dating back to Jeff M's advice, and having gotten Vibram 5-fingers running "shoes" and done several 10 mile runs through the trails here over the past couple of months. After the last trail run with the vibrams, about 3 days later I felt some soreness in my ankles and decided to stay off them for a while, which I've done. I did a 12 mile easy trail run through Big Basin a week ago. But my psoas issue returned with a vengeance last Thursday, and worse when I tried running the 10K race. Of couse, I tried to run hard, at 10K race pace, not my usual easy trail runs. No doubt that has something to do with it. but I've not been able to do a psoas-pain free pavement race for several years now, even though my psoas has not bothered me for short pavement runs to the beach, and on trail runs either, even runs lasting 4 hours. So... I'm back to trying to figure out what's going on.

Anyway, I did get a 3rd place medal, and enjoyed the company of many friends
