As it's getting closer and closer to exams I'm spending more of my time sat on my ample bottom, and less of my time standing up and walking around. I reckoned that this might be why I've been feeling so stressed out... pent up energy perhaps?!
I decided to remedy this, I was going to go for a run. I've been putting off this run for a couple of days, but today the sun was out and someone told me about a lovely trail through the forest. I tugged on my trainers, squeezed into some lycra and I was off...
The trail was lovely. I enjoyed about the first 500m of it. Then the pain set in. Not chest pain, which I often get if I forget my inhaler, not calf pain from weak oxygen-hungry muscles but hip pain?!
I've officially turned into a Granny.
I somehow developed what felt like a trapped nerve in my hip. It was excruciating.
I've decided this is all some higher sign that cross country is not the sport for me. I wish there was a fun, painless and cheap way to get fit! *sigh*

oddly enough, I just came back from my run, and (guess what) I have a hip pain as well! I've had it since a very bad fall this winter and it makes me run like a turtle. So I unite with you in your hip pain haha:)
pushups!
Try tabata, i was 19 stone 5 ft 11 and now in about 4 months im 15 stone 6ft, you only need 4 minutes of it every other day, and it can raise your metabolism for about 2 days, its quick, cheap but is also painful. I dont know if like me youre overwight, but if yes search paul mckenna i can make you thin, its not a diet but more of changing the way you eat.
Ooooh, my hip pain is after a bad fall 4 years ago. Strange stuff. At least I'm not the only one who runs like a weirdo.
Lucky for me I'm not overweight, I'm just flobby and could do with toning up and getting fit. Thankfully I can pretty much eat what I want... which is usually cake.
