Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
12.10	0.00	0.00	0.00	12.10

AM: 12.1 miles, averaged 9:20. HR 138.

8 Miles Steady Aerobic

Kept it generally quite easy, but picked it up to higher zone 2+ for the middle miles. Incision site felt fine. 9:13-8:27. HR 141-153. I think since I can run fine, I will stack some miles for a while and ride when the stitches are out. I need a solid 4-week base before I get back into any subthreshold stuff or whatever I end up turning to. Eventually I could turn this into a moderate to marathon pace tempo, but I don't know. I love that workout but wonder if it is the best approach to training.

Dude, you're a wild man, running 12 so soon after surgery! Impressive stuff!

I did a lot of testing to make sure it wouldn't be an issue and I ran pretty slow for a while, but was able to pick it up a little today. I'm avoiding downhills that will load the quad and any quick stopping or turning motions. The bruise/cut I have on my head from one of the boys whacking me pretty hard with a plastic tube hurts a lot more.
