I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

They actually weren't all easy miles but I did not keep track on the hill sprints we did. Ran with the BBK.

The same leg that my hip has been bugging me is having more problems now. It really doesn't hurt more when I run but through out the day I am having problems lifting that leg by itself. (putting pants on one leg at a time, etc.) It isn't my hip that is hurting more but almost on the complete opposite side of my hip. I don't think it is my groin but I am not sure what it is.

I am almost considering taking a month off so that I can heal properly in order to start training the way I want for SGM 09. I will be moving in two weeks so that might be the perfect time. Although, I am going to have to figure out what type of exercise I can do to relieve stress and keep my weight under control and still let my leg heal. Any suggestions?

No suggestions on other exercise - I only run. You did awesome today! You were speedy fast up the hills.

Pool running and biking have worked for me when I've been injured. Pool running is supposed to keep your running fitness for up to two months. Lisap, a blogger who is very speedy, does a lot of pool running. You might want to check out her blog for info on what she does. Good luck!!

I was going to say biking! It just uses an entirely different part of the leg! Sorry the pain is back.

When did the move go to 2 weeks???? We only have a couple of times left to run together (unless you stop before you move!) Darn it.

I am on for Monday and i am planning on 5:15 Thursday unless you tell me otherwise. I would only get up that early for you!

Cheryl,

Thanks! We will just have to rent a place in the OC with access to a pool. Which a couple of the rentals will be looking at this weekend have one right in the back yard.

Kelli,

Sorry I forgot to fill you in on the changes. I ran with Scott for a few minutes so he got an ear full from me. Anyway, Jon and I decided that it was not the best idea to send him with out the rest of us. So we are going to be renting a furnished place there so that I can leave my furniture here to stage our home during the selling process. Jonathan needs to be there the 2nd of Feb. So we are moving not this coming weekend but the next.

Can we plan for this Tues. instead of Mon.? 1 pm?

I am planning on 5:15 as of now, if my leg takes a turn for the worse I will let you know but I think it will be okay.

That is why I want to go at 5:15 so I have more time to chat with you. It is getting down to the wire for me.

You are right- this is the perfect time of year for a break and healing. Just be sure to find out what the problem is so it does not come back. I am sorry your hip is giving you grief :( Bummer!!!

From britta on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 15:26:17

I did go to the DR. for my hip pain, so I know what that is, I just can't pronounce it or spell it. I think the other pain might be from running a little funky because of my hip pain. You are right though I should go back to Dr. T.

From leslie on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 15:26:50

That is a bummer! I hope you can get that under control.

I still don't know where you are moving to!

From Marion on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 15:28:01

OC- orange county???

I'm glad you know what the problem is :)

From britta on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 16:03:54

Yes, it is Orange Coutny. My husbands office will be in Irvine.

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 16:36:40

AHHH!!! That is way too soon! I can do Tuesday, that is fine! But now we need to throw a party for you before you leave!! When next weekend will you be GONE for good???
