Running and Taking NSAIDs? Don't!



I read an article today in The Hamilton Spectator about runners who take meds like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.  I had no idea it was so dangerous.  I've taken ibuprofen once during a run when I had knee pain.  This article definitely makes me think twice about taking it, especially for muscle soreness after a run or boot camp, since it appears to impede recovery.  Good to know.
