Well, this week brings my first real 5k attempt on Saturday, in spite of the fact I'm not fully back in shape. I did manage a nice 5 mile run Wednesday, Tuesday I was rained out. My Wednesday run was the same after work loop I have been doing since I bumped my mileage up to 5 miles. I improved to an 8:45 pace, with 325 feet of climbing. My custom pad collected the least amount of fluid so far since I started running.
One thing I changed this week was the elimination of one of my medications. Like a lot of people, I have started to develop those fun spring time allergies. When I checked, I found out I shouldn't mix antihistamines with the Imipramine tablets I was taking for incontinence. I also discovered that a lot of people had trouble stopping the drug. I had only been taking them for 5 weeks, and I was still having issues with a strange taste in my mouth, weird dreams, fatigue in the mornings, and sometimes funny feeling in my head. I decided I would rather pee a little more, and feel normal.
