Went to the track this afternoon to do some training since I never know when I will get tired right now.

My goal was to do 3 miles, alternating walking one lap with running one lap.  After 2 miles I could feel my incisions pulling and slowed the last mile down even more alternating every half lap.  Finished with two slow laps of walking.

I spent about 20-30 minutes stretching.  I have not focussed on that as much as I should, so am going to stretch really good after training and use my styrofoam roller, The Stick and a lacrosse ball to make sure I get all the knots out each day.

Walked to the gym after work and did an hour of chest, shoulder and back weights.  Dropped all my weights by 20 pounds and none of them felt forced.

Rode the recumbant stationary bike for 25 minutes at an easy pace.  As soon as I felt my stomach pulling, I quit and walked home.

(Note to self:  Next time a trainer asks if you can spot him on 200 pounds worth of dumbell presses - get one of the guys to help instead).

Took a rest day yesterday to let my recovery continue from surgery.

Today marks 4 weeks since my operation.  After work I went to Lifelong Fitness and did an hour of leg weights and then ran 2 miles on the treadmill at 12 min mile pace.  No stomach pain today - but I stopped anyway.

Walked 3.5 slow miles tonight up towards Hill Air Force Base.  I'm sure liking the nicer weather.  The rain was kind of getting me down.
