Wow, I feel like I should have some sort of party! Not really. I went for a run today and unfortunately it was later than I had dreamed of going. The weather had started to get hotter and more humid, but it had to be done. It was 5.8 miles of hell. I remember the days when 6 miles was a short run. I'm building the miles again (at least at heart) so Debbie and I can run the Silver Strand Half Marathon in November in San Diego... any other takers?
It was the same trail I had rode my bike on a few weeks ago. Passing familiar markers reminded myself how much safer I was on foot. But on the way back, all I could keep thinking about was how much easier it would be on the bike. There's no coast option on my running shoes. Maybe I should start running in those shoes that have the wheels built into them.
On another note, I got this new hair removal creme for my face. I have a very hairy face. Seriously. Well, I don't know if I did it right or not, but my face feels sort of icky. I can't really explain it, but where the thickest hair was (along my "chops" I guess) it got sort of gunky. Not the creme, but my hair. And didn't really come off. So I had to shave the gunk off. Now it feels like I have small nubgs of hair, like the creme just melted it off mid shaft instead of going into the pores and making it flush. Very weird.
And those who are interested in knowing, I'm scheduled for surgery July 1st and UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco. They're going to completely remove my rib, and the muscles attached to it. That would be my first rib, or top most. Apparently most people do just fine after the surgery. Candace is going to fly up to SF to keep me entertained in the hospital. I demand sock-puppet shows, Ghiradelli chocolates and cool games to play. I think she's got her hands full this time. In reality I'm sure if I get too froggy she'll just push the button on my morphine pump and go take a break for awhile.
When I'm released from the hospital, I'm going to fly back to San Diego with her and laze around for a week or so. If everything works out the way its supposed to, I'll be back to full duty around the first of August. If the vein to mangled or if there's any clot stuff left in it, he may put me back on blood thinners, and I'll be on light duty for the remainder of the season. But we're not going to think about that right now.
I'm going to go graze through the kitchen to keep myself from taking another nap... hopefully I don't get trapped by the evil ice cream monster...
