AM: (8+ miles, 1:13:34, 37:14/36:19). Got out late again today. Luckily, I had other things that made the run difficult, so the heat did not bother me -- well, not that much. I got a new set of exercises last night. These are strengthening my outer and inner quad muscles and trying to increase flexibility in my hips. Ouch, they hurt, a lot. So after an hour of them last night and another 40 mins this morning (well, and maybe the 15 miles on the bike yesterday) my legs were pretty sore. But, the good news is that I can feel a real difference, already, in my foot and leg position during push-off (especially in my "bad" leg). Titus the kitty is not doing well at all. The anesthesia wore off about 11PM last night and he freaked out ... he does not like his new radar collar, and I mean at all, he doesn't like how much his side hurts, and he is more than grumpy. I was very worried last night, so I gave him a kitty sedative that I had left over from our cross-country drive and sat with him until he calmed down. This morning he wasn't quite as bad, but he is still pretty upset. I am not sure this is going to work until Tuesday when we go back in to get the shunt taken out. PM: (4.5 miles, prettiest run of the week -- oh yea this is the second time this week I have run here!). Happy weekend bloggers -- and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Barry!!
