Extended Break

My one day off on Sunday is going to turn into a week off. My hip was bothering me, so I went to the doctor. The doctor prescribed a strong dosage of Naprosyn and told me to stop running until Monday. Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover Naprosyn. So I'm popping Alleve (same stuff as Naprosyn, but OTC) at twice the recommended dosage, which is still less than what the doctor prescribed. The box of Alleve says "Stop use and ask a doctor if you feel faint, vomit blood, or have bloody or black stools. These are signs of stomach bleeding." STOMACH BLEEDING?! You can bet I'll be inspecting my stools VERY carefully!
