The nasty side effects of the naproxen haven't completely left me. I dealt with embarrassing gas, bloating and sporadic burping for days after my vomiting/acid reflux attack. I tried to dismiss my daily nausea on psychosomatic symptoms but since I stopped taking the naproxen a few days ago the symptoms have gone away. I can't help but feel there is a correlation. The problem is my thigh and knee pain have increased exponentially. I'm not quite at the point where pain is waking me up in the middle of the night, but I very quickly started getting "movie-goer knee" again at work. This will really suck if there's a fire drill.
Despite feeling gross and achy I've kept running. Some days it's been only 5km/3 miles, but other days I've gone as far as 10km. I need to squeeze in an actual long run this weekend when I have the time. Runs have been okay, nothing awesome except on a few rare occasions. The heat is back in full force so I try not to beat myself up about my frequent walk breaks.
The most exciting running-related news is that I was asked to be on a relay team for next spring. The race is the only one of its kind in the province and even my husband wants to run a leg! Now I just have to focus on getting my pace under 6 minutes per km (as per race rules). Currently I hover in the 8 minute range, with great runs in the 7 minute range. I'm hoping with some specific speed work I can drop my time down farther. I've got time, time to giv'r!
