Decent track workout of 4 x 300 at 60, 58, 58, 56 with 100 meter walk rest.  Three miles on the trails warmup and about a half mile cool down barefoot around the infield after 4 barefoot striders following the 300s.

No running for probably 2-3 days after tomorrow morning.  Having outpatient surgery to hack out a precancerous mole - be warned, all ye having multiple large moles and who spent much of their youth with too much skin exposed.  Turns out that having more than 10 moles cranks up your risk of skin cancer about 10-times more than the general population - sweet!  Had a skin cancer screening a couple weeks ago and they sliced off 4 moles for biopsy - one came back precancerous so they are gonna dig around some more.  Will require stitches and lack of activity for 24-48 hours - hmph!

Sorry to hear that - hope it goes well and not too painful. I get checked periodically (nothing yet) - having spent 4 summers working on the beach in my youth without sunscreen can't bode well...

As you inch toward 50, be sure the periodic checks become at least annual. Excision went well this morning - love the smell of burning flesh in the morning!
