rail trail with Tarno. Good pace this morning.
Note
2011 Alberta wildfires are now officially the #2 Canadian natural disaster of all time in terms of property losses (2nd to the ice storm). The fires near Slave Lake came very close to burning my brand new field equipment. But we dodged a bullet (it came within 2km of our site).
At the end of the field season we return much of our equipment to the U of A lab near Athabasca, AB where my field crew stays in the summer. We have some lab equipment and computers in that lab building too. Well that lab burned to the ground yesterday. So far I have no idea how much of our research equipment (if any) was lost (we think it was luckily stored in a separate building). No idea how the fire started. Nobody hurt. Ugh.

rail trail with Tarno
Note
step #1 'clean-up' t right knee medial meniscus tears and small tear in left knee ASAP.
Downtime: approx one week in wheelchair
step #2 osteochondral allograft transplant plus osteotomy at same time in left knee. Surgery will be 'sometime in the next 2 to 8 months with an only 2 to 4 day notice".
Downtime: approx one week in wheelchair and 4-5 months on crutches with complete leg cast.
Result: 80-85% success rate at start. 10 years out 80% success rate
Mike: "Can I be active in sports again?"
Surgeon: "I'm going to encourage you to be active"
Mike: "High impact sports?"
Surgeon: "What kind of high impact?"
Mike: "Running...maybe 2 or 3 times a week max. Can you give me that?"
Surgeon: "Absolutely... but on a treadmill right? no roads"
Mike: "Well on trails or in the woods on generally soft ground. "
Surgeon: "Oh even better no problem. stay off the roads"
Mike: :-)
So I'm happy that this is closer to being figured out but I'm also a wee bit freaked out on the no weight bearing for 4-5 months thing. The 7 weeks on crutches back in 2007 was hard enough.

easy ride as I don't want swelling before tomorrow's surgeon visit in Tronna.
So in a few weeks Westdale's Reid Coolsaet will be gunning to break the Canadian marathon record set way back in 1975 at 2:10:09.
Meanwhile the IAAF wants to take away all women marathon records that were set in 'mixed-races'. I'd be curious what Sara-Mae Berman has to say about this.
