<p>Sorry you're injured, FB! There's way too much of that going around these days.</p>

<p>Hi Tamster! I never mind barky dogs, just nippy ones. The frequent quizical looks I get from dogs when I talk back to them amuses me to no end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KS... do you remember the Ferber exercises that I'd posted quite some time back? <a href="http://www.runninginjuryclinic.com/News/straight-from-the-hip.html" target="_blank">http://www.runninginjuryclinic.com/News/straight-from-the-hip.html</a> I've been doing the exercises he recommends, plus the other two directions (glutes and adductors) a couple of times a week for the last year or so, and have had less problems around the hips than ever (touch wood). It's all about strengthening the small muscles around the hip and reducing the variability in the stride.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Easy 3.6 miles at lunch today, with no company. I think our running club is fizzling out.</p>
