Hello bloggers, I have missed you. I have backed off running a little in the hopes of giving my new medication some time to work. The other drug I was taking just had too many horrible side-effects and yet wasnt working well. My knee and hips hurt all the time, and the joints in my feet and hands were swollen all the time. So, now I am on Enbrel (I give myself a rather painful shot every week), and I have backed off the mileage a bit. Things are much better after nearly 4 weeks. My goal is to take easy for another week or two and then start increasing intensity a bit. Fingers crossed, my doctor says he can get me to "90%" - I don't if he means 90% of where I was last year, or 90% of an average non-runner type? My hope is the former ;-)
I have missed you, and just have been too depressed to keep up, for that selfishness I apologize.
I hope those of you getting ready to Boston are enjoying the warm weather!!!
