Bummed out with an injury

I felt a mild pull in my groin area about a week ago but two Aleve pills were good to mask the discomfort. I ran over 9 miles on it and felt okay while running, but the next day the pain had worsened and it felt like a muscle strain. So, I have not been able to run since last Tuesday and that is way too long! I took my little dog for a long walk at City Park after work today and tried to run but the discomfort is too much. I will GIVE IT MORE TIME to heal, but please please hurry up and heal! This is one of the hardest things for runners to deal with, injuries, especially since running is like our therapy. Fortunately, I am still able to take long walks and my little mutt is loving it.
