[ Small movement ]  I had a Lipoma removed from my back yesterday. It felt small but once the Dr. pulled it out if was like the size of a golf ball. Instead of growing along the muscle it grew inward. Not too painfull but there are bursts of pain the shoot through the area as if someone was sticking a knife in me. The stitches will not be removed for 2 weeks in which time I'll have another much larger Lipoma removed from the other side of my lower back. As I've shed more pounds, 31 now, the lumps are becoming more cosmetically unattractive and remain painful to the touch. I am such a Baby! ;) Although I'll need to redirect my workouts away from spin and trekking, to avoid any stretching of the stitches, I will still be running my 12 miler this weekend.

Next weekend I reach my part of the training where I start running hills. I can't wait! Although it will be painfull, it is challenging and sort of fun. :)
