I have a few things to report.  Starting with my stitching that came out this week.  I ended up taking them out myself after attending a seminar on suture removal, i.e. watching a video on Youtube.  It was actually pretty easy.  The most painful part was when I would pull on a chin hair with the tweezers instead of a stitch. 

Next, I am working on a training page.  Since this blogs inception I have not done a good job chronicling my training.  It has been a logistical problem.  I just could not find a format that was simple enough to update daily.  Well, I broke down last night and learned some basic HTML language so I have created a page that will be going up tonight.  For you wonderful people who follow my blog you will finally be able to follow my training as well.  Hopefully there will be a lot to follow in the coming months. 

Wednesday I was having some knee pain during the day and was just sure my run that night was going to be bad.  I was pleasantly surprised when I ran 3 miles almost completely pain free.  The use of a strap worn just below my knee might have been partially responsible for the favorable run.  Whatever it was it was great.  I took yesterday and today off and will be back at it again tomorrow.  Right now I am taking it slow. 

I have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what my schedule will look like once I get healthy.  I can't wait to get some races on the schedule.  I am not going to push it but the thought of running healthy seems to good to be true.

Lastly, Gene had to ask about my makeshift roller.  I was using an olympic size barbell.  I thought it was following pretty much the same premise but I now realize it was not even in the ball park.
