I'm so sleepy today. It's going to be a long day and it's going to be hard to keep myself motivated to work out this evening. I seriously thought about calling in sick to work so I could get more sleep, but then I remembered I'd have to get up with the kids anyway to get them to school and once I'm up I have a hard time going back to sleep, so I'd end up just laying on the couch, being a bum all day. None of that, I'm going to work. As long as I can stay busy I should be okay. Yawn.....

I got my run in yesterday and tried out the knee brace. It seemed to help quite a bit with my knee pain in my left knee, but then my right knee was sore and my hips were killing me. It was an almost 3.5 mile route and I think it was the longest time I've had yet. I wanted to shorten it up about halfway through, but I kept on going and completed the whole thing instead of taking the short cut. I'm having a really hard time with the hip and knee pain lately, so I'm going to try to take at least 2 day breaks between runs and do strength workouts and maybe a different kind of cardio on those in between days. Hopefully if I can strenthen up my hip flexors that will help the pain. I really don't want to quit running, I've come to enjoy my time outdoors, but maybe I'll have to just be happy with going to long walks. I'm not giving up yet, I'm going to keep trying to find ways to make the pain go away, or get better, first.

Well, nothing going on this evening (thank goodness) so I should have time to get a workout in and then maybe relax and watch some Modern Family.

Have a great Wednesdsay!!

I am glad the knee brace helped, and I am really sorry you are in pain. Awesome job on pushing through. I hope you get some rest and have a great day.

Glucosamine has helped me a lot with joint discomfort, but I always take long breaks in between runs when I feel any pain because I'm afraid of injury. Walking (mile for mile) equals out to about the same calories burn, it just takes longer. I hope you find your energy and power through the rest of the day. Have a good one :-)

Try strength training yoga (not JM) that will put some strength and flexibility into your hips. I do 10 mins after my run everytime I go. My back tends to tighten up and hurt so I need to stretch it and my hips out to relieve future pain. I put the video I use in our group post.
