Sore Hip, etc.

ReenRuns

I haven't been here much because I don't feel like much of a runner these days. I've been having trouble with my right hip - It hurts when I run! Bummer - I know! It's better than it was - I think - but then I haven't been running to aggrevate it - and that's aggrevating me!

I went to the Dr again today. He's ordered an MRI and the unit dose 6 day steroid pack. I had a cortisone injection about 3 weeks ago. The MRI's not til Wednesday - so everything is still up in the air until at least then.

The good news is that I got on the treadmill at PT the other day and the Therapist noticed that my right foot turns out a little when I run. If I really concentrate and keep it straight that helps the pain in the front of my leg. But I still have some pain on the side of my leg. It is much better than it was just not better enough.

So - for now I'm riding the exercise bike, working on my core and leg strength and hoping I don't loss too much more running time!

On a different topic - I can't believe 2005 is almost gone - Isn't amazing how quickly time flies?

Here's to a healthy happy and prosperous 2006!

Blogging Diseases - humm?

Hi Again!

Well - it's seems I've been infected by a blogging disease that I didn't know existed. I'm sure that's possible since I'm really new at this. So - OK - 5 random thoughts about me - here goes:

1. I love to travel, Hawaii (Maui) is my current favorite destination!
2. The most AWESOME place I've visited is the Grand Canyon - it is absolutely breathtaking! If you haven't been there - GO!
3. I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers. My Mother tells people she only has 7 children - I know she's nuts!
4. I love pineapple and I eat it often! So - according to Lora and her Dr I should have no inflammation - maybe I need to eat it at more regular intervals.
5. I have 2 soft, cuddly cats. I used to hate cats - but I've been converted!

OK - I've got that part done but now I have a problem. I don't know 5 bloggers that haven't already been infected. So - I'm going to skip the next part until I know people to share with!!

A quick Hello

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here and very excited. I'm a fairly novice runner in that I really started running just last December. However in that year I've completed 1 - 8K, 3 1/2 Marathons and the Chicago Marathon! It's been a great year!

Gotta run!
