Notes
This was my first long run since surgery on Dec 18. I'm still having a bit of abdominal pain, so I wear a stabilizer while I run and it allows me to run without pain. It's interesting getting back into running. It's like I expect to just be able to go out and run like I used to. But no! I've walked all through the recovery, and then started back running 1 minute, walking 2 and working up f...
30 miles and counting
Thursday, January 31st 2008
I've run/walked 30 miles this week. Tomorrow should be another five. Not sure what Saturday will bring since I have my Personal Trainer class. I'll run, but don't know if it'll be before class or after. Hmmm, maybe I could go in early and drop my stuff and run around there. One of my favorite places to run is right down the way. Or I could run just after and have Roy come get me.I'm not doing a straight run yet, but I am doing more running than walking. Tomorrow will be just a walk. Friday...

Yesterday was supposed to be the day, but it snowed. So today was the day I tried to run again. Last week I ran on Tuesday and felt pretty okay about it. (Felt pretty GREAT, but it hurt.) Wednesday I tried again but it was honestly pretty painful and I did more running than walking. Then Thursday I was sick (Hank...don't get me started...I freaking HATE Hank.) and Friday I went in to have an IV iron transfusion because Thursday I got out of the bath and blacked out. Friday I did get a walk in, a...Wow. I mean. Wow.

Yesterday was a l o o o o o n g day! I went in about noon to have an IV iron transfusion. This is the second time I've had to have it because I no longer have the duodenum, which is where your body absorbs iron from food. My body can make iron, but because I lost blood in the surgery and some with the hematoma, my hematocrit was left pretty low. My body was starting to make up for it, but not fast enough.It's a pretty long procedure, but not a huge deal, really. It's just ambulatory care, ...
