FIRST WORKOUT IN ABOUT ONE MONTH

It was back on March 29th when I could no longer deny that there was something wrong in my groin area. Tuesday, March 29th was the last time that I had broken a sweat during a 6 mile walk through Bloomington, Illinois. During the ensuing weeks, I rested under the false impression that I had only a groin pull. Then I discovered that what was really ailing me was a hernia. Yesterday, I visited my doctor again in order to satisfy the requirements needed by the surgeon to insure that I am ready for surgery. During my discussion with my doctor, he re-itereated that I could workout as long as I wasn't lifting anything. For the first time in nearly 4 weeks, I stepped onto a treadmill and walked 4 miles in 65 minutes. Since I was given the 'OK" to do this, I felt no pain. Assuming that my surgery goes on as scheduled on Friday morning, I intend to enjoy three more days of treadmill work today, tomorrow and Thursday. After my surgery, I will even be forbidden from driving a car for one week - so I can assume that walking will also be out of the question.
This cartoon does not perfectly capture my energy level on the treadmill yesterday, but at least I was on the treadmill!
