Better during period Elaine 9/23/04 10:38:17 AM ET
I think I'm faster right when my period starts. Last month it was especially noticeable: my period came late on Monday, and I ran a hill run on Tuesday and track on Thursday, both extremely fast. I think I'll manipulate the pill before Chicago in 2 weeks to try to recreate the benefit! Fortunately, my cramps are easily controlled by acetaminophen or ibubrofen.
