10 easy miles from my home on the Murdock Canal Trail. Knee improving.

It's been a rough couple weeks, but that's Ok. Tough things make us tougher. As I mentioned previously, I had to have a giant kidney stone surgically removed last week. Not fun, and it took more out of me than I thought it would. The surgeon left a 2.5 foot long stent in place, which I had to remove 4 days later (I'll tell ya, that was a lot of fun :). He absolutely wouldn't let me run until the stent was removed (because he said it could become dislodged by doing so). So, I took last week off from running. I then started back running this week.  It was tough and painful (because I was still recovering from surgery). Then, for some reason, my knee really acted up on Wednesday, and I felt it would be wise to take a couple days off.  I decided to test it today, and my knee felt improved, for which I'm very grateful. I'm sick of not running.

In a weird way, I am glad I experienced the brutal and unrelenting kidney stone pain (although I'd be fine with never experiencing it again :). The reason is that distance runners need to become well-aquainted with and seek after pain. It's part of our world. Maybe it will make me tougher :)
