Got it done

 Late this afternoon, I went to the park to see if I could run and get in at least one mile.  It was painful and gimpy, but I kept going and ran 3.1 miles on the park roads.  I checked for bleeding a couple times, but there was none.  Three more runs to reach 5 years on my current streak.

Surgery day

 I ran 3.2 miles at the track at midnight this morning.  After a little sleep, I went down to Tomball later this morning for ablation surgery to fix a flutter in my heart, which maybe part of the congestive heart failure problem.  I got back to Huntsville at 3 this afternoon.  Cannot do anything for 24 hours.

Tuesday run

 I got busy with a project last night and forgot to blog.  Ran 3.5 miles at the park, mostly on the trails.
