The sooner you do it, the sooner you get back out there. So good!
Looks like I'll be getting my knee surgery sooner rather than later, which I see as a very good thing. Maybe I'll be able to do a spring 2014 marathon.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

15 miles done, though that whole "last 15 minutes at moderate effort" didn't really happen. I managed to make the last mile the fastest, but since all the rest were over 10:00 pace, it didn't take much. My body is kind of tapped out right now, but think a short recovery run tomorrow and SRD on Sunday should have me ready to hit it again Monday.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Kewlness. Much respect. I banged out a quick 3.1 miles over lunch, but it's all good as I had planned today as a rest day. This "running thing" can be addicting, can it not? Even if it's just a quick run, ya just gotsta do it!!! **grin**
Phil: I'm happy to hear that the surgery should be taking place soon - you'll be on your feet that much sooner.
Shari: Great miles today, especially considering that it is your first LR since you got struck down with illness!

Good news, Phil; not that you have to have surgery, but at least it will be done sooner, so you can start rehab sooner too. Wishing you all the best!

so im a runner & run mom....
I fear the threshold workout. doing the adaptive running thing and actually enjoy all the workouts. Almost all.
Today I ran down a power easement. I could smell mexican food. Good yummy mexican food. Granted I did not have to go fast on streets, the mexican food was there to taunt me. South wind about 12-15mph, pretty constant. Ran north first, then south. It was hard, but not too terrible hard. It was around 11 so my breakfast was gone, and I was really really having fantasies about food.
I wish I could cut and paste a map...I did some unintentional GPS artwork.

Evening, dailies!
I'm way behind in my posting today! I managed to get out for 3.4 miles after working a 12 hour shift today. I'm bringing my gym bag with me tomorrow in hopes of getting about 5 miles in after work in the park. Have to be out before it gets dark since the riverwalk closes at sundown.
Hope everyone's doing OK. I didn't get a chance to read all the posts today. Heading for bed soon, will be up at 0345 hrs tomorrow.

Youch - I was wondering how things had turned out at the doc, but being a little short on time, I didn't get a chance to read up on your situation. I hope everything goes well with the surgery when you get it done.
6.2 recovery pace. Nice night for a run. 35 degrees and clear.....all downhill from here for the next few days though.
Are we there, yet?
Just a quick 3.3 today but I was able to get to the college track meet to watch the kids on the team I sometimes run with race. Five plus hours of spectating and cheering.

My run went past the bakery for a local convenience store chain, and apparently they were making their "Glazers" donuts - the smell of powdered sugar glaze was intense and way too sweet to even be tempting.
