Attitude:
Tough day. An old hip injury flared up today at work. I used to get sharp hip pains, but they've been gone since I started exercising more regularly and taking glucosamine. I'm not sure what made it flare up. It could have been my new shoes from Sunday or our hip stretches in yoga or that I've stopped taking the glucosamine lately. In the warm up it hurt a little and on the first sprint it hurt a lot. I really didn't want to cut the workout short, but I'm not going to injure myself for this. I tried to work on my leg strength by doing lunges and side shuffles. I wanted to get my heart rate up so I decided to do some modified burpees when I got back to the house. My upper arm strength has improved a lot since I last tried to do them, but there is still a lot of strength to be gained.
I'm a little discouraged by this body I'm working with. Hopefully taking the glucosamine again will help. I hate being dependent on medicines though. I really want to hike the Appalachian Trail one day but it's going to be hard to do if my hip hates me. I'm worried.
