Glad you are sprung, Henry! Will you be doing PT near home?

Got in 30 mins this AM, quite comfortable and no wet boardwalk to deal with. Threw in some bursts of running hard for a few hundred feet, is that a fartlek?

Enjoy the day everyone

Henrun happy return home and good luck with your recovery.

Ran 8 with my former training partner this morning. She apparently mentioned that she was thinking of doing the Naples FL half marathon with her spousal equivalent. Smart man that he is immediately signed her up for it!  She has since downloaded a training plan and wants me to help her through it. I am not sure how much help I will be, since my current plan is to take a number of weeks off from running post marathon to totally heal up. What I am wondering is whether by "training" she means to run a half marathon (I doubt it) or win her AG (a lot more likely).

Speaking or writing of HMs this is a photo of me from this past Saturday's SoNo HM. I am not sure when in the race it is. While I do not look happy in it, at least I do not look like the extra in that werewolf movie that is about to be eaten alive. Hey, you gotta take what you can get.

2C - good luck for the same this weekend.

thanks henry and good morning all.

^{When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie that's a fartlek}

^{When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine that's a fartlek}

^{When you run in a dream
But you know you're not dreaming signore
When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet, it’s a fartlek}

^{Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing, "it’s a fartlek"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
And you’ll say, “it’s a fartlek.”}

^{When you run real fast
after running out of gas
that’s a fartlek}

We had a good visit with my wife's brother and his wife up north for almost a a week.  While we were there, another of her brothers and his wife showed up for a couple of days.  We didn't have phone or internet service unless we went into a nearby town (10 miles or so).  I don't think I'll go back and look at the daily posts from that period.  However, from today's post it looks like henrun had his surgery.  Wishing you the best in your recovery, henrun.

A little over a week ago, I commented on the spot on my face that the dermatologist took a sample from and sent in to be tested.  As he suspected, it is a melanoma in it's early stages.  I have an appointment in less than two weeks at the melanoma clinic at University of Michigan hospital.  Between the original dermatologist and the people at U of M who got all the test results, it sounds like the feeling is that is should not be serious to take care of.

A good day and good runs for all.

TomS

I'm glad you're nipping that in the bud, TomS.
