you can work to lengthen and balance your body, which will help. I would add more pilates & yoga to start with. Running, weights, and cardio tapes are all great exercises that you should continue doing, but I would reduce the frequency of them and replace some of that time with pilates & yoga to lengthen.
In your training your quads at the front of your thigh/hip are getting a lot of work. Make sure that your hamstrings, glutes, and inner thighs are getting the same attention. And stretch your quads/hip flexors as much as your hamstrings after weights or any cardio.
Try that for 2-3 months and see if it makes a difference–I think it will!
