'Bout that time
Considering I haven't ever had an extended break from working out--I can no longer say that about running, but working out--I am quite apprehensive about tomorrow's surgery. I'm most nervous in the short term about the procedure itself since all things medical kind of freak me out, but once that is over I will be dealing with trying to concentrate on healing myself without feeling guilty that I'm not able to carry on with my usual routine. If all goes well, this will be "just a blip on the radar" as a good friend reminded me recently, but it's hard to see the big picture just yet. Still, I feel that I owe it to myself and to my love of running to take this next step in caring for my knee and I am going to try and stay positive.
Aside from worrying about tomorrow today, I got in my last long trainer ride for...however long it may be. I watched two "House" episodes and then flipped between the morning shows. I had hoped to get in one last lift but my office had a bowling outing tonight and being new, I decided it would be a good idea to show my face there. And my co-workers really are a fun group of people, so I ended up having a great time and staying even longer than I intended. It definitely took my mind off my worries and then when I got home, I had several messages, texts, and emails wishing me luck tomorrow. I am grateful for the support I have and look forward to reporting more running news in my blog...eventually.
I will probably provide a quick update tomorrow of my very last (quick) biking workout before heading off to a work meeting and the hospital but just in case...wish me luck!

¡Buena suerte! ¡Qué todo vaya bien! (Good luck, hope everything goes well!)
Maybe you'll be superhuman after your operation and will storm the local road race circuits!
