I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I argued with myself from about 5:30 am until I finally got on the treadmill just before 9.  What a bum!  I watched the thermometer go from 0.0 to 0.4 to -0.6 to where it stands now a 6.4.  It's a warming trend!

I have started taking vitamin D.  I think it is helping :)

So here is what I did today :)  Stretch, 1/4 mile walk, 1 ,mile run, stretch, 1 mile run, 1/4 mile walk, stretch, roll.

I stretched mid run because I was getting bored.  I really hate running on the treadmill.

I am trying not to get excited, but my lower extremities are really behaving.  My left ham is a very tiny bit whiny, so I am increasing the inline on the treadmill a bit and doing a few extra stretches.  FYI- Dr Brady said that increasing the treadmill incline puts my stride a bit more on my toes and relieves some tension on the hams.

Glad your hammy is mostly behaving! Keep it up!

I sure hope it's a warming trend.

Congratulations on the well-behaved lower extremities.

Glad you had it all figured out! Happy hip and happy hammy = happy Marion!

Vit. D sounds like a great idea!

YAY! I'm excited to hear (even in a whisper) that things are getting better. Keep at it - your body is thanking you!
