I ran once this week: 6.2 miles
Month of November, I ran 15 days of 30 (actually 18 times), 90.9 miles, 6.1 miles/run
2009 to end of November, I have run 182 days out of 334, 6.2 miles/run
Sun: A rest day for CJ and I after three days of exercise. We headed down to Geneva to see the Nutcracker performed by the Ithaca Ballet and the Finger Lakes Symphony Orchestra. We enjoyed the ballet very much, it was very well done.
Tue: 6.2 miles, 51:59, 8:23 pace, Fleet Feet Cobb's Hill run, 40F, easy, night, calm, no stops, no pain.
CJ and I made it down to Fleet Feet for the Cobbs's Hill run, also the first night of Winter Warrior ... a lot of people showed up! The weather was excellent! I love running when it's around 40F and calm!
Thu: I have had a left inguinal hernia for a couple of months. It has not really affected my running but I wanted to get it taken care of before it did.
So today I had it repaired at the Clifton Springs Hospital and Clinic. My surgeon could not do a laprascopic (too skinny I was told!) but did a straight cut. I was out of surgery by 11:15AM and on my way home by 2:30PM or so. Everything went well, I have nothing by good things to say about the whole experience. I was calm before I went in for surgery ... my BP was 115/70 and my pulse was 43. I was in a bit of pain whenever I moved. My girlfriend, CJ, is taking good care of me. Her cinnamon toast is awesome! Hopefully I will be back to running soon! I do want to run a race this month so I can run a race in every month of 2009!
Fri and Sat: Still on the mend with CJ's help. Pain when I get up, not much pain when I stay in bed. Kind of sucks ... it seems that the cure was worse than the bite.
Keeping active, Doug
