@Mamapolo2016 hahaha ...I know it sounds odd... it's just that when I was younger I certainly didn't need to take Advil after excercising... and there's a saying... no pain no gain. Pain I's a scientific repair signal to repairing muscle thing... I could be tricking my body into not needing to repair some muscle ... but with this much ache I'm taking that risk... that at least half the signals are getting thru

@Justmeraeagain thank you. Yes we do have to be careful as we age!!!!

@Harmonium1923 thanks for sharing! I appreciate
Viste that I'm not alone in the aches/pain medication. I almost never take it but If I'm suffering... I feel justified but I know health wise I should keep it at a minimum.

@Mindful I feel like the health benefits of the running far outweigh any concerns about such a modest dose of Advil.

@Harmonium1923 I think you are right!!!!

@Munumbis that's great. When I was younger I didn't need anything, that's why it feels wrong....I'm older now but also out of shape --trying to work on it. Hopefully your doing it right and keeping up with your excercise

@class yeah that's what my gut says

@Ontheroad thank you for that info

@Mindful also phosphorus, sodium and potassium intake is important for kidney health as we grow older.

Limit all of them to the recommended daily amount.

I learned all if this after going through cancer treatments and surgeries for the cancer.
