Day 41: 33,548 steps (so far)

The bad (but not really that bad) news is I went a bit overboard on the steps today, walking so much before my run that I turned my 5K into a 2.5K (see previous running post for details) after slogging along for 16 minutes. The good news is that despite all the steps, I’m not totally exhausted or anything. During the run it was muggy, and I was slow. At one point I felt a bit of a stitch coming on, but it retreated, and I was fine. I think I mentioned this before, but as I hit the six-week mark, I’m not feeling in any way restricted in what I can do now, but it does feel like it will be weeks yet or perhaps even months until the surgery carve-out in my chest feels normal(ish) again. One more day before my daily post-surgery reports turn intermittent! Here is the Six Million Dollar Man running. Today, six million dollars would buy you a bionic fingernail. Holy cats, look at the fur. It was the ’70s, baby.
