20 minutes easy

Ran 20 minutes easy this morning. Distance slightly more than 2 miles. Averaged 9:45 ppm. Yesterday I measured out the 7 mile course for tomorrow morning. I weighed myself in Cadillac this week when I went for my cortisone shot. 188 1/2. I weighed 191 when I left for China. When I started the training program in April, I was 201 1/2. I would like to get down to about 182. Some guys on the China trip said you have to do hard interval training for that. The wild card is possible shoulder surgery. Dr. Grace has sent me to a specialist in Traverse City, and I should hear soon when the appointment is.
