Road Camber

My preference is to run trails, but during the week I have to be out running so early in the morning, I have to put in a good chunk of road miles. After logging a couple hundred miles on the roads, however, the road camber seems to start taking a toll on my right hip (and knee sometimes too) because I am always running facing traffic. I try to counter the camber by running with traffic, but it makes me nervous... is there a another trick to dealing with camber or do I need to just suck it up and put in equal miles with traffic?

    Is there a lot of traffic on the roads you run on? I'm thinking maybe not if it is very early, in which case there's no need to be right over to the side of the road in the gutter unless you see a car coming, in which case you can move over.

    Did you get any other ideas? As I'm walking more I'm noticing the same thing. When there isn't much traffic, I'm trying to switch sides but like you Lonewolf I'm not comfortable with it either.
