One thing I never fully appreciated about being "athletic" is the constant aches and pains. Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about severe, mind numbing pain...just normal, take an aspirin and sit for a while achiness.
Since I sit still most of the day at my desk, getting out of my chair is always an adventure. In the BR era (Before Running), I would look forward to my hourly trip to the kitchen to fill up my water glass...now, I wonder whether my legs to loosen up before I get there so that I can walk by the secretaries' desks like a normal human being.
Unfortunately, my left hip and knee are beginning to give me a lot of trouble. Last year, when I was training for the half-marathon, I had to see a doctor and physical therapist to get it all straightened out. I am really hesitant to go to the clinic this year, as the "cure" was to take 2 weeks off of running...a luxury that I cannot afford.
It's just a hip, afterall.
