PM - 10 miles aerobic - good run - but quite slow.  Not too worried - just hoping I start to see some results in the next few weeks.

PM - 8 miles on the treadmill after work.  Cancelled my entry to NYC marathon today.  Knew I would not be running it after I had the surgery, but held off canceling until today.   Deferred to next year.  Oh well.  Glad I am able to run pain free.  Just have to work on getting back to where I left off.

AM - 4 miles easy early in the morning.

PM - about 6 miles easy to moderate (for me in my current state of fitness) with Richie after work.  Good to catch up with him.  I officially withdrew from NYC this week - Richie is fighting PF but is on the mend and plans to run the race anyway with a couple of friends at an easy pace - to enjoy it - a victory lap in a sense.  Will miss not being able to join him this year.  But there will be other races and other opportunities.

PM - 9.5 miles easy on a warm humid day.  Felt ok for the first 6 miles or so, but then really did not have a very enjoyable time of it for the rest of the way.
