Can I run while taking Clomid?

Hey Girls!  I will finally be starting Clomid this month to hopefully ovulate...I don't have high hopes for the first round, but I really want this to work. My dr thinks I may not ovulate because I run and work out too much.  It really isnt' that much, but I guess my body is just sensitive.  My question is, can I continue to run with Clomid, or will my chances of ovulated still be low because of it?  I know that Clomid goes straight to the brain to get you to ovulate, so maybe it will bypass whatever it is about working out/stress that makes you not?  I don't know, but I'm starting to get into really good shape now that I gave up trying to O on my own and starting running again, so I would LOVE it if I could..but if it's any risk, I would rather O.  Thanks ladies!

I exercise 4-5 times a week ( cardio+ weight lifting)45min or so and was never told by RE to stop doing it.  In moderation it should be fine.  I ovulated with Clomid while still exercising.  It all depends on whether you do too much...

So there is still the risk of doing too much?  bummer...I run, and i like to run really hard...almost to the point to where I want to throw up towards the end.  It's weird I know, but I was an athlete in college and we were always pushed so hard that it's really hard for me not to push every time.  Plus, I get such good results that way.  Oh well...small sacrifice for a baby...
