      Hey all. 57 yrs old here. Struggling with ongoing knee pain. I'm told it's arthritis and/or degeneration. Working on keeping active and not getting frustrated. Any help? Experiences? Thanks

      Beautiful afternoon of golf yesterday. Weather warmed up, slight breeze for the first few holes to keep the black flies away. Made some good drives, but lots of lousy putts. Love walking the golf course.

      Raining and warm today. They are calling for rain all weekend, which is going to put a big damper on all the 150 Celebrations. :/

      Is the pain constant, or only when you perform certain tasks or exercises? Several of my friends are dealing with knee issues, including a woman marathoner who has significant degeneration in one of her knees. She gets Euflexxa injections that provide for several months relief so she can continue running, but she is able to ride a bike with little to no pain.

      How do I join this conversation? Hi.. I'm 41, single mum with a full time job and should be asleep so I can hit the gym early tomorrow rather than writing here. I used to be a runner but injury stopped that in Feb and now my jeans don't fit

      Ran 3m. Started a little late in the morning so got hot pretty quick. I stopped at the auto parts place on the way home and I think the guy was worried about me. He kept commenting on how hot it was outside and how "people" need to be careful. Yes, yes, I know I'm all red and sweaty. I promise I won't die in your shop. Just give me my wiper blades. :)

      I was going to get in one last workout before vacation today, but I spent most of the night up with a migraine and I'm going to take the day off.

      Leaving on vacation bright and early tomorrow morning!

      Well I've done nothing but be sick for several weeks. Bronchitis. Then flu symptoms. But those might have been the start of the diverticulitis that put me in the hospital. I'm out but I'm on two different antibiotics for 10 days then have to rebuild healthy gut bacteria over the next month.

      Yuck

      3 mile run today!

      And has anyone here had piriformis syndrome? I'm wondering how much I should be stretching to deal with it...

      Nice work on the run!

      Regarding Piriformis syndrome, what are the symptoms? Soreness in the hip joint/glute area?

      When I have glute issues, I work on reducing the inflammation by icing it at first, then using a lacrosse ball to get direct pressure on the muscle fibers to push them back down into place and eventually relieve muscle tightness. I find that too much stretching of irritated muscle fibers just makes them worse. I'm certainly no trainer, but I have been a frequent flyer at PT and massage therapy, and this has been an effective treatment for me. Stretching then follows as part of the strengthening exercises, once the soreness has subsided.

      Good luck. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

      So how bad are cinnamon jolly ranchers? I have been having 4-6 between meals. It seems to curb my munchie cravings. But wondering if I'm sabotaging trying lose weight...

      Are they pushing you over your calorie goals? Are they interfering with your intake of nutritious foods? Do you find that the sugar spikes your appetite? No? You're good.

      For me, I'd probably go for a protein or fiber-rich snack for those calories, because that's what I find satiating. Carbs alone just make me hungrier.

      If you're uncomfortably hungry, you may want to consider your weight loss goal. Is it aggressive (2 lbs/wk)? Feel free to move it down to give yourself more calories.

      I've been doing pretty well sticking to my running training program. I'm trying to get my 5K under 29 minutes by September. I've finished Hardcore 22, and like always, I'll be doing a round of 21 Day Fix Extreme before starting another program. That gives me 3 weeks to decide between Master's Hammer & Chisel, P90X3, or Body Beast. P90X3 will probably win because of the 30 minute workouts and because I'll have to tweak it the least to work with my running program.

      Oh, and I signed up for my first Half Marathon in November, Oy Vey!
