I haven't read any blogs all summer so I have no idea what you've been up to!!

Part of it may be that I continue to eat as if I'm running six or more miles a day but since I'm not doing anything, it just makes me feel even more sluggish...which makes me want to exercise even more! It is hard to be addicted to endorphins, huh?!Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-66606239627163206842013-09-10T09:08:14.772-07:002013-09-10T09:08:14.772-07:00Wow...I am replying to comments a month after I wr...Wow...I am replying to comments a month after I wrote my post! So sorry!! I hope your sciatic, back and hip thing is going away. That seems like a common trifecta of problems. I think I had a little bit of that going on this summer, too. Mine may have been caused by the fact that I changed my running form slightly to accommodate my knee. Ugh. <br /><br />My shorts are Zella(?). I'm pretty sure that is the brand name. They are sold at Nordstrom. They aren't cheap but are great quality and I love the wide waistband and how they sit low on my hips. Suuuuper comfy!Happy Running Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371380232284226541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-3752634664652006692013-08-20T23:30:46.086-07:002013-08-20T23:30:46.086-07:00I am just back after resting for 2 weeks - It was ...I am just back after resting for 2 weeks - It was a necessity that occured much likes yours - I kept pushing through an injury thinking i'd be ok.

I have been down since, but doing other exercises. It sucks.

Like I said, my blogging will be here when I return.

But it sounds like you've been thoroughly enjoying your summer! My husband and son went on a rafting trip on the John Day River in late June, too... wouldn't that be funny if you were there at the same time?! My husband's highschool buddy organizes a big rafting trip there every year and this was the first time my husband and son have gone. They LOVED it!<br /><br />Hope the rest of your summer is fantastic and can't wait to hear about HTC!greengirlrunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250524017216714773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-11303414496381227032013-08-10T11:26:35.603-07:002013-08-10T11:26:35.603-07:00I do the same thing when I'm supposed to be &q...I do the same thing when I'm supposed to be "resting". All of a sudden I'm super duper motivated to do some hard core strength training and bike riding. That part of my brain that pushes me through a tough run doesn't take a break just because I'm injured. <br /><br />Hope your knee feels better soon! I'm sure your body will appreciate the true rest!Amy @ Run Mom Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238120528704443654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525338596341670577.post-65413547423686389222013-08-10T06:48:42.181-07:002013-08-10T06:48:42.181-07:00I have a sciatic, back and left hip thing going on...I have a sciatic, back and left hip thing going on, which I think was caused by leaning over my garden a lot. The pain hasn't kept me from running yet. I've never tried insanity, but would like to. I have a Jillian Michaels, a Bob Harper and a few yoga dvd's I use. <br />Your family summer looks great, especially the rafting/camping. I like your shorts, what kind are they?elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615887438960518295noreply@blogger.com
