    Glad to hear you're improving, even if it's more slowly than you'd like. As for the protein, that makes a lot of sense as a factor that might be affecting things (and it's something I need to be better about too, probably hasn't helped my situation either). I was at Trader Joe's the other day and thought about getting some whey protein powder but I just am not sure how good it is to use something so processed, even if it's not loaded with artificial ingredients, so I think I will just try to pay more attention to eating enough high-protein whole foods. 30-60 minutes of running is pretty good; I'm not up to that yet. Partly because I haven't been running as consistently lately; I have been taking advantage of the snowfall here (we're getting more as we speak) and going snowshoeing whenever I can and I think that may end up helping because it seems to work the hip muscles that need work in my case. Skating seems to be good too and I may try to add some of that to my routine as well. If you have areas that need strengthening, is there any cross-training you can do that will help?
