Hi everyone... I just wanted to give a little update... My first post-appendectomy run was 3 miles at about 1.5 weeks out... this past Sat. I did 7, and then jumped back into my training schedule this Monday. So far so good. I was running about 30 miles per week before the appendicitis.

And I hopped back on the bike today for the first time since... and commuted to work. It's just 5.5 miles... but I was nervous about how I might feel. I lost some fitness, but not too much, and I didn't have to use the granny gear once! (Course that may be different going home, which is more of an elevation gain.)

Anyway, I'm glad to be back on two wheels again. Thank you all for your kind words and stories.
