No running like the wind this spring..

Change in plans. Was going to attempt a PR at the Eugene Marathon this May. Events and, perhaps, a bit of caution, have finally convinced me to not do that. My gall bladder will be removed a week from today. Coach doesn't want me to attempt a marathon 4 weeks later. Coach is a smart guy. I'll save the PR Marathon attempt for another day. This winter I hope.

My running has not been very swift recently. But I've had some fun.. running over the Golden Gate bridge and doing the Mud Run. Trying to make the most of my running before the surgery.. just in case.

I'm hoping removing the gall bladder will remove the ax from over my head... you know, the ax saying I could die if I have another pancreas attack. *ugh* I could die if I cross the street at the wrong time, but you know what I mean. With the ax gone and a week of rest (I'll be taking 5 days off from work to recuperate). I hope I'll start having energy again and start running fast again. I'm starting to feel like a 3rd wheel with some of my running friends. :( probably just being negative...

Idiocracy

I'm watching the movie "Idiocracy" right now, on comedy central. The weird thing is... the commercials on comedy central are not so far from the world described in Idiocracy. A little disturbing.

Random Thoughts

Been reviewing various marathon options.. in case I do not PR in Oregon, which I most likely won't. And out of curiousity. I'd love to run in Sedona, Az.

Curious.. I ran 15 miles today.. "only" 15 miles. For some reason, a run doesn't lose the "only" designation until it hits the 16 mile mark. That's for next week.

Got a Kindle 2 and LOVE it. Cool, cool, cool... I'm reading again. I'm already 34% finished with the first book I purchased. I know its 34% because the kindle tells me so.

Have to decide if I will keep my gall bladder in the near term or not. Doc says it should go.. but I don't know. I don't want to remove any organs unnecessarily.

Foot hurts.
