Medical Update

Kumquat’s blood test results came back and everything is normal.  Phew, what a relief.  The doctor also said that we won’t need to pump her up with so much iron anymore but to keep up the variety in her diet.

In other news, I’m scheduled for my surgery on Friday, August 23rd.  I’ll have lifting restrictions so I’ve decided to also take 2 weeks of disability.  Luckily, I already had the following scheduled off.  The surgeon also said that although I won’t be able to lift over 25 lbs, I can still run.  So, I guess I’m still on track for the Disneyland 5K a week later!

6-mile Evening

IMG_4059I spent my Monday evening on The Embarcadero.  I missed my Long Run this weekend so I made it up today after work.  As soon as I got home, I changed, packed some dinner for Kumquat, and headed out.  I tried to use two running apps at the same time today (mapmyrun and nike+) and one was started late while the other crashed in the middle so I didn’t get a mapping of my run.  However, I did pay attention to when I started and I know the turn-around point (that Fisherman’s Wharf sign) so I figured out that I finished 6 miles in 01:09.  Not too shabby considering I pushed a stroller through the wind and Fisherman’s Wharf crowd.  Kumquat had a good time and enjoyed cheese, PB&J sammich pieces, and edamame.  I guess I’m ready for the 10K on Sunday!
