The Vision Test

Today I left work early for my month post-op appointment for my PRK surgery. I ended up getting home about four o'clock and went out for a quick run.

Today was a challenge, it was the first time I've run outside in about nine months, maybe longer. It was 80 degrees and sunny. I only ran two miles but It was a challenge. My first mile was at a decent pace but the mile back was at slower than 9 minute/mile pace. The two miles took me 17:40. I suppose I'll take it.

I do feel continually motivated. Had I not had a goal, I would have stopped to walk but I know that every run I can get for the next nine months is important. I pushed through a slow second mile.

After an hour or so I felt more energy. I considered going for another run but am going to be very careful about running too much. I instead opted to head to the clubhouse and got a short weight lifting workout in. I did some quads and lats and shoulders.

All in all a decent day.
