I was actally discussing the glucosamine with my pharmacist... He also mentioned that it takes a couple months for it's full benefit. The turn off however is that it needs to be taken 3 times a day, and I am not a good medicine taker. This chondroitin you speak of... Is it along the same lines?

Good to hear you haven't dropped out Trabbs.. I took my boxer out with me the other night but had to make a pitstop after 3.5k to drop her off at home as she was starting to lag behind. I need to take her out more often i guess.

Brad... awesome you are doing the half marathon. Might consider something like that next year. Im already signed up for the MS bike tour this spring though.

In a former life I was a pharmacist and yes it is along the same lines. They are of course two totally different molecules/substances but often are combined together in the same dosage form. In my experience many people have had good results but in my opinion its not a miracle cure. Probably at best its a good supplement to combine with other forms of rehabilitation/treatments.

BTW I like running too! I think there is something about having the patience of watching corals grow and putting one foot in front of the other that just gels.

I run PT which is Physical Training in the Army where we do from 07:30-0815 as a unit. I'm 41 and when I go to take some of the young soldiers for a run like 5 kms they are almost dead. can't keep up its funny. the newer generation. so I usually run 5 -8 km's evey day and on the weekends I run 8-12kms ,but now where I don't have the time or just getting back from Christmas holidays. Hmmmmmmmm i will be focusing on Hockey for the big tourney that is coming up and then the Regional's and off to the Nationals in Borden.
