Sunday Aug 19 | ||
| Note | |
| (injured) | ||
| Still a bit bloated, but moving better. Got Baby-O to nap this afternoon which gave me some recovery time. The rest helped. | ||
Saturday Aug 18 | ||
| Note | |
| (injured) | ||
| Better this morning. Could walk at my normal pace (which most would call brisk) without too much discomfort. Inflamation seemed to have gone down a bit, too. By late afternoon, things had got a lot worse. Swelling is up again and I'm back to a really slow walk. I expect it will be back and forth like this for a few days. | ||

Friday Aug 17 | ||
| Note | |
| (injured) | ||
| Pretty sore today, but not as bad as I would have expected. I'm guessing I'll be off completely for another 2-3 days, then I might be able to get back on the bike. Instructions are to wait until September to run. | ||
Thursday Aug 16 | ||
| Note | |
| (injured) | ||
| Surgery day. Hernia repaired. Gall bladder removed. Don't feel too bad. Was walking around pretty easily a couple hours after. | ||

| In to work. | ||
| C • surgery today? 2 | ||
| Note | |
| Not only has the National Weather Service issued the most dire heat warning I've ever seen - they've issued it twice so it gets two links on websites that pick up the automated feed. I'm looking forward to getting in my ride home!
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING. DANGEROUSLY HOT WEATHER REMAINS ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION AND TODAY WILL BE ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THIS PROLONGED HEAT WAVE. RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN TODAY IN MANY LOCATIONS...AND MOST OF THE REGION WILL SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES EASILY TOP 100 DEGREES. CENTRAL...EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WILL EXPERIENCE THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA...WITH HIGHS FROM 103 TO 107 DEGREES. PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 105 TO 110 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE AREA. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY... ULTIMATELY BRINGING AN END TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT BY FRIDAY. DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE COLD FRONT MOVES AND THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD COVER THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT...THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO THURSDAY FOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE IMPACT OF THIS PROLONGED HEAT WILL MAKE HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES A VERY REAL AND DANGEROUS THREAT...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE LIVING IN UN-AIR CONDITIONED HOMES OR APARTMENTS. PEOPLE IN THE WARNING AREA ARE ADVISED TO AVOID POORLY VENTILATED AREAS AND PROLONGED WORK IN THE SUN. TAKE PLENTY OF BREAKS IN A COOL AREA TO GIVE YOUR BODY A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. USE AIR CONDITIONING IN YOUR HOUSE OR APARTMENT IF IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING... KEEP YOUR HOUSE OR APARTMENT WELL VENTILATED WITH FANS. USE FANS TO BLOW HOT AIR OUT OF ROOMS DURING THE DAY AND THEN BRING IN COOLER OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. TRY TO SPEND SOME TIME IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT TO GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK FROM THE HEAT. FOR PEOPLE IN THE ST. LOUIS METROPOLITAN AREA NEEDING INFORMATION ON COOLING CENTERS OR ENERGY ASSISTANCE RELATED TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT...YOU CAN CALL OPERATION WEATHER SURVIVAL AT THE UNITED WAY OF GREATER ST. LOUIS. THE NUMBER IS 800-427-4626. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS 105 DEGREES OR GREATER FOR THREE OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. IN ADDITION...NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WARM PROVIDING LITTLE CHANCE FOR RELIEF. | ||

| The interesting thing about riding when it's over 100 degrees is that the air moving past you is actually heating you rather than cooling, at least until you start sweating a lot. I had hoped to get in a last quality workout prior to surgery, but that really wasn't in the cards.
Took Grant's Trail to Kirkwood and then continued north on Spoede to Westport. Put in one good effort on the climb up Marine to the Y (all 63 seconds of it) and finished with some bike handling work. | ||
