May Miles: 4.16 May Average Pace: 19:22 / mi 2019 Miles to Date: 92.56 May Goal: 30 miles Tomorrow I’ll be 6 weeks post-op. Tomorrow I will reach the end of the estimate the surgeon originally gave me for when it would be safe to begin using my core again.

April Miles: 0.9 April Average Pace: 42:06 2019 Miles to Date: 81.1 April Goal: Recovery I should have raced today. I was supposed to run my first race of 2019 – my first attempt to get a good proof of time for Operation Sparkle Redux.
