Thank you so much for all the information that you gave me about running. Like I said, I am new to the sport so any advice helps. I will definitely try out your suggestions. Glucosamine is a good addition to any persons diet. I think that I am probably just running a little wonky. I really appreciate the time you took to give such a thorough answer. Thanks again!

melissa - i have experience a lot of trouble with my knees and my hips. although i am not a medical profession, i can give you this advice (which worked for me): stretching before and after a run is very important. you may be experiencing pains because your muscles and ligaments are too tight.

if that is not the cause of your knee pain, it may be that you have worn down the cartilidge over time, which can cause pain when running (or walking, for that matter). i take 1500 mg of glucosamine daily. research has shown this supplement makes the cartilidge in your knee more supple. i have really noticed a tremondous difference in my knee pain after being on this supplement for a month or so.

additionally, you might want to search your area for a local runners store. call ahead and see if they offer assessment of gaits. you may be running in a certain manner that displaces your hips slightly, leading to pain. if this is the case, strength training exercises can help "readjust" your muscles to minimize this displacement. however, if this is the case, you'll want the advice of a physical therapist.

on a side note, when i started running, i experience a lot of knee and hip pain, and it went away as i tried different shoes, got stronger, and began taking supplements. go slowly and seek the advice of a medical profession if none of the tips i listed above work. you really don't want to ruin your knees/hips at a young age! good luck!

Thanks for checking out my blog! I have a question for you since you seem to be an avid runner. I have recently started loving running! The problem is that at about the 5 mile mark my knees and hips start to hurt (not terribly, but enough). Do you have any experience with this? I am wondering if it is just my body getting used to pounding on the pavement or if I am over doing it. Any suggestions or stretching ideas that you have would be helpful.
Thanks!

You're a brave woman! =P I won't even walk to my car in rainy weather if I don't have to. I hateeeee getting wet... But I supposed if I was going out to run in it, it might be different. I hate getting wet because then I have to shower, but if I was running, I'd be planning on showering anyway.
