I am sitting here surprised that the implant in my chest hardly bothers me at all while the tube heading into my neck is quite sore. This is how it's been pretty much since Friday after the local anesthetic wore off. Friday afternoon and evening, I decided to forgo pain medication until I went to bed and took two pain pills instead of the one I normally would take. (I am allowed to take up to two every four hours).
Well that did the trick, I slept for two sessions of three plus hours each, the most for two months now.
Saturday morning I wandered down to the Market Street Mile (no intention on running) with my camera to shoot photographs for the Frederick Steeplechasers. After a couple of hours I could feel that my body was telling me I needed to get home, so I left skipping a post run party. You know if I skipped a party it was important to get some rest. I got some great pictures but my favorite is the one I posted below left. I'm a sucker for kid shots and how pleased this young kid was of her medal brought a smile to this haggard feeling soul.
This morning I headed out to meet my Sunday morning group but running would be out of the question. I tried just a few steps and with each “needles” shot into my neck. Hopefully this will ease up in a couple of days allowing me to get at least one or two short runs in prior to the19th.
