Very interesting that topic of programming the mind to be in shape ... I will try to see it, my internet at this moment is extremely slow. I hope you get better so that you keep working on keeping fit ... These are necessary activities for our brain to release hormones that keep you full of life and joy. Take care :)

totally agree with what you have written here.  I think it is very easy to fall out of the "fitness way of life" and i know from personal experience as i was a star athlete in high-school and college and about 2 years ago found myself at nearly 230 lbs and well believe it or not it was FB with one of those "this is YOU from 4 years ago" pictures that brought to my attention how far down a bad road I had gone.  

Now i honestly believe the hardest part about going to the gym, is going to the gym.  Once you are there, it is easy.   

However, my own father ran marathons well into his 50's and now has horrible knee and joint problems, i too experience this from running and well, i suppose part of it might be genetic.  These days i use one of the elliptical machines or if possible I swim (prefer the last one... no sweating!) I hope you can maintain your goals, it does feel good to feel better, and well, look better too.

I have let myself get well and truly out of rhythm the last year or two and I have to do a complete rebuild. I am hoping that once the new position starts, I will find the drive to create a different set of habits.

Interesting post. I am currently healing up from a hip arthroscopy. I had similar issues and could not run because of a balance problem. You may very well be correct that your issue is actually associated with your hip. Before you start running again you may want to go check with an orthopedic surgeon and have him/her x-ray your hip. My problem was I was born with extra bone growth in my hip which caused a labral tear.  My femoral head was also off position so it needed to be shaved as well as the bone growth on the hip.  That may not be your issue, but it would be good to check out the internal workings. I was starting to get arthritis in the right hip.  I'm on my healing road now, and I hope to be able to run again within a few months. but I can already tell a difference one month out. Take care and feel better soon!
