Pretty good quality run today although I wasn't able to do it without the pain meds as I had hoped. About noon on Friday I could tell I still needed to be taking the Ibuprofen for continued inflamation in my back and other areas. So I ran on drugs today and felt pretty good the whole way. From mile 7-12 I ran 7:28/mile or better and then mile 16 I picked it up to the finish and came in with 7:06. During the first six miles Meg and I added some hills both up and down over our usual over pass route. So I got a run with a little bit of everything and feel pretty good about it. Now it's time to start reducing the mileage and make it through the rest of the taper.

Time: 2:05:13 7:49/mile

Very nice job there Jeff. Too bad about the pain meds. But you still got in a good run with some speed in it. Taper time oh yeah.

Very nice run. I think you're ready for a good one.

Question. When you take ibuprofen do you take it a couple of times a day or just in the morning when you run? And how much do you usually take?

Dave..I take Ibuprofen 3 times a day 800mg a pop (4 - 200 mg tablets). That is prescription strength so be careful with that. Now I sound like a real drug addict. I am hoping for a good run at SGM. Hopefully I can get some good healing in the next couple of weeks so that everything can come together.

Wow Jeff that is a lot. I have used Aleve and like that over Ibuprofen. Since it will last all day. And usual one will do the trick for me but you can take 2.

I usually always take 800mg when I do take it. 2 pills don't seem to help me much. I just wasn't sure if it helped more to keep it in your system or if it did just as much good to only take it when you needed it for a run. Thanks for the info. It seems to work well for you.
