Longest posting drought since I began this log in 2010. Just don't have much to write about. As usual, I did a 5 mile walk this morning. Waved at some runners I know out on their Sunday long runs and thought about the good old days.

My surgery is coming up on Thursday. If it works, I'll be back training and posting. If not, I'll move on to something else.

Thought I was going to dinner with Ann and Andy last night but ended up at a surprise gathering of Alta cross country and track runners and their parents going back to 2002. Saw many people for the first time in years.

Arrived at the U Orthopedic Center at 6:40 AM for my surgery. Was rolled into the OR shortly before 8 where I was knocked out. Woke up shortly before 9 and was told that everything went great. Talked with the surgeon, Dr. Aoki and he seemed very happy with the procedure.

Ann and I went to Ruth's after for breakfast - banana walnut french toast. Came home and slept a good portion of the day and iced the knee periodically. Walking around the house, most of the knee pain I've felt the last several months seems to be gone. Hopefully, it'll be the same story once the pain killers wear off.

Still no running for at least a week. Here's to being back on the blog posting real workouts soon! Thanks so much to everyone who has encouraged me,
