horrible update:

second leg workout during cruise and i jumped straight into squats without
stretching. by the third set my hip started hurting and now people keep telling
me i have pulled my groin or irritated it.

still hurts and i have no idea how long its gonna take to heal. never had this
happened to me before lol but it sucks!! really wanted to complete my first run!

i decided just to end it here to let my body heal but i will be coming back strong
for a 3.0 once im perfectly fine!

OK man, live and learn!!

It's all good in the long run, IF you learn from it! Sounds like you already have..

Sometimes, learning the hard way... is the best way..

I recomend going for a stretching routine man. I started doing the p90x xstretch video when this same thing happened to me my first run. I didn't cut it short, but I gave myself some extra rest days and stretched and I felt the difference my very next workout. I no longer do that, instead I have a nice 10 minute stretching routine everyday before bed and that has DEFINITELY helped. Give it a shot.

EDIT: oh and I used to stretch between every workout as well. Don't know how it happened to me.

definitely learned the hard way hah
i think i was just excited to start and forgot to stretch. i normally do, but that
day i didnt. will get a good stretch before the gym from now on.

and thanks for the advice jacos!
my stepfather has the p90x dvds so ill take a look at that stretching one!
