Happy Independance Day for Tammy, Ouch for Niko

Well here we go again. After going for a nice long stretch ith no injury problems it feels like my body is starting to break down. Today was supposed to be my long run, 15 km or longer. I usually don't set a specific distance when I start out but run depending on how I feel. Anyway, today I was hoping to get in 16-18 km. Everything started well enough. I ran west along Bur Oak out and up to Vern's place then down and turned back towards home and swung by Ryan's place. He and Erin were out washing the car so I stopped for a couple of minutes to talk before heading on. Mistake? Not sure. But about 2 km later at the 10 km point I started to feel some irritation in my groin. Nothing right? Just an annoyance. Till about 11 km. The irritation started becoming a pain. No! Damn it, not again. I stopped running and walked for a bit and it felt ok so I started to jog, very slowly. Ok for a few hundred metres then pain again. That was it. I was about 3 km from home and walked the rest of the way. I was now totally frustrated, pissed and worried about my training. So now I had a sore back, tender heel and a re-injured groin to go with my chronic patellar tendonitis, mucked up big toe that doesn't bend, what I think is a bunion and a heel spur. Someone tell me why I put myself through this. I begin icing my groin immediately, and then again that evening. I can't have this happen again.
