Back at it

Two days of actual running, jogging rather, have been very successful. Monday was a 4 miler, half of it in pouring rain/hail with some lightning thrown in for good measure. Pulled off 4 easy 8 minute miles with no difficulty. I think it has something to do with the 10 pounds I've misplaced since getting my tonsils out.
Last night put in just over 6 miles at 9 minute miles in lovely 55 degree weather. Today and for the next handful of days the high temperature is in the 70s, which will make for more excellent shorts while running weather.
For the moment, though, I'm just waiting until the Meijer pharmacy gets my prescription for painkiller refilled.

It continues

Today should be the day I can actually 'run' instead of shuffle about at a pace faster than a walk. Even with the recovery from my tonsillectomy going on I've managed to keep putting in a mile or more each day. Now that the weather is nice I can easily get ready to roll with just a pair of shorts and a tshirt. No need to pile on gloves, jacket, shorts, pants, extra socks, baselayer, hat.

326.92 miles in 2012 so far.

Goodbye tonsils

Tonsils are gone. Managed to get a mile in the morning before my surgery, and then today I got outside to walk about a bit and timed a mile of it in order to keep the streak alive.

I'd rate wisdom teeth at worse than tonsils right now. I'm not in pain, just very uncomfortable. However it is only day 2, less than 36 hours without my tonsils, so I can't say for certain that it's easy sailing from here on out.
