I've been trying to go T,Th,Sat during my recovery, but a colonoscopy scheduled for Wednesday, with a liquid diet and laxatives on Tuesday, I decided to run Monday instead of Tuesday. As I recall, it was cold, with a light dusting of snow. I just wandered around the side streets near my home trying to avoid icy spots. Average pace about 10:30/mi.

Colonoscopy screening today (because I'm 50). Found nothing. Good for another 10 years until the next screening.

I experienced some blurry vision this morning. I think it was a side effect of the Propofol anasthesia they used yesterday for my colonoscopy. My daughter Brittany kindly volunteered to drive the car pool. It cleared up soon enough for me to get Daylight Donuts for my son Andrew's birthday before I had to go to work.

Aside from the slower pace, and only 6 miles on a Saturday, it felt very much like "the good old days" of running today. Larry, Wayne, Kevin and I got out together with Ozzie and Dash (Larry and Kevin's dogs). I think Kevin is the only one who had gone 6 miles or longer in a long time. It was great being back with my running buddies. We all survived and plan to start running together again on T,Th,Sat as we all try to get back into the running groove.

Average pace: 10:14/mi
