My watch died at 3.02 miles. I was doing 1 mile laps around the neighborhood so I finished the last lap with no idea of my pace.
Today was also skin cancer removal day via the Mohs Procedure. I got to the dermatologist office at 8:45 and didn't get out of there until almost 3pm. The skin cancer ended up being deeper and wider under the first couple layers of skin. I had to go through two rounds of removal that left a deep quarter sized hole in my head. It was sewn up using a flap procedure by a plastic surgeon. I have a 3 inches of stitches on my head. So needless to say running and lifting would be out of the question this week.
Tuesday
I got barely any sleep. I had to sleep elevated and my head was throbbing all night long.
Wednesday
Woah....my face was so swollen and I had the start of a black eye. Still in quite a bit of pain.
Thursday
I feel like I look like Frankenstein and the side of my head is so PUFFY. I'll spare y'all pictures. Oddly a good part of my scalp is still numb. Pain has subsided quite a bit.
Friday
First day without needing to take Tylenol!!!! Swelling has gone down and I was feeling like I could survive a run.

I got up early to run before I took Eliana riding at 8am. At 5am it was 90 degrees and 97% humidity. Nope not happening. My treadmill is in our guest room and Rob went in there sometime during the night (he snores) and was still sleeping. So looks like running on the treadmill was out.
I took Eliana horseback riding then I went to the cabinet store to design our kitchen layout. We were there for three hours, but we managed to pack in all the cabinets I needed. I also found the dishwasher we wanted for $250 off at Best Buy plus I had a $35 reward certificate. I also found the cooktop we currently own brand new on Ebay from someone who lived locally. The Ebay seller wanted $750 for it and I offered him $600. He took it! Woot woot! I love a good deal and saving money. We are hoping we can find our double wall ovens and range hood just as cheap. There's a Sears Outlet not too far from here I'm hoping to get to this week.
So back to running. It was triple digit heat today so I hopped on the treadmill. I managed to finish 6 of the planned 9 miles. My face was starting to swell up and my stitches felt like they were going to pull apart. It felt so good to get my legs moving though!!!

Kitchen. We decided to save the money and not remove the door. We had to get creative with the cabinets, but I like saving money!
