11/5/11

9.5 miles -- Target and back.

I've been meaning to pick up a pair of running pants before it gets really cold but my car has been in the shop for the past week. So today I just ran out to Target, bought the pants, put them on, ate lunch and ran back. I also picked up some flaxseed oil capsules. Over the summer I started taking three fish oil capsules a day to help with soreness and it definitely seemed to help. For the past two months though I stopped because I wasn't running as much. Now with this nagging knee pain I decided I'll try omega 3 supplements again. I'm going with flaxseed because it's cheaper and I won't have to worry about toxins from factory farmed fish. I'm also going to significantly up the dosage. The manufacturers recommend three capsules a day but from what I've researched online 8-10 capsules per day seems more appropriate for healing injuries.
