got my stitches out tonight. glad they're out, but my scar is gross. It's definitely not the nicest stitching job i've seen. Hoping now that the stitches are out, the scar will even out and be less bumpy. contemplated posting a picture, but decided not to.
i went out for a 6k run yesterday, felt good. Great actually! I really felt like going longer. It was a sunny but cool day out, perfect for running, but i let the logical, forward-thinking, protective voice lead, shutting down the adrenaline-driven voice that was enjoying the run, wanting to continue. I got home, chugged down a quick recovery drink, jumped into a shower, and stretched out well.
This saturday evening is my 15k run... which I officially downgraded from the 30k. I was really looking forward to finally hitting that distance, but I know I will, when it's right. Not being able to run that distance now twice is kind of a bummer, but i'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. (Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I believe this... I will let you know...). I just like getting new race shirts, and running routes that i normally never would, plus others in my running group will be doing each of the distances. This route also goes along part of the 1/2 marathon route which I'm running Sept 28th, will be a nice little preview. Today my shins felt fairly good. I've still been icing, wearing shoes in the house during the day, so i'm sure it's all still helping.
Something else, totally unrelated to running, but wanted to share. I officially heart Facebook. Earlier this week, I found one of my oldest, closest friends in the whole world, with whom I lost touch about 15 years ago. I had to live with her for a few months when I was 13, going through a very difficult time in my life... and then moved to Toronto with my dad. Being young, taking things for granted (which i try very hard not to do anymore since my surgery...), we simply lost touch. I've been thinking about her a lot lately... and did some searching and found her. She's calling me tonight, and I can't wait to hear her voice. Jay is already betting how long before i start crying once we're on the phone together. lol

Glad to read that you are running again. Good luck with the 15K this weekend. That must be the midsummer night's dream? Hope you had a good reunion with your friend. FB is great for that.
It must feel so good to be out there again! I'll be looking forward to your report on the 15K. Good luck & have fun! You'll get to 30 (and beyond) when the time is right. I know it! I felt the same way when I had to back out of ATB and Mississauga earlier this yeat - we tell ourselves it's for a reason, but it still sucks.
