In fact, yesterday was also the first time since the surgery that I ran. I took it easy, I didn't try to push it. I spent more time walking than running (alternated three minutes walking and one minute running). And I'm not experiencing the post-run pain like I did before the surgery. So I guess that means it worked.
Thanks to everyone who sent prayers, thoughts and well wishes. It helped to know there was a whole mess of people pulling for me.
And now I shall commence running after our dear little Joy...

Glad to hear that you are recovering so well and more quickly than expected. You should be back in Joy-chasing shape very soon!!

Boy, I can sure tell I am not a sports medicine (orthopedic) specialist. I don't recall you mentioning the name of your surgery or diagnosis. I cannot ascertain either from the surgical scar. BUT, I can tell it is healing well from the photo with affirmation of your run-report. Prayers answered!
BRatK - It was a neuroma on the calcineal branch of the tibial nerve.
Word verification: smitoxyt, which is I think the product that was about to be pitched by Billy Mays before his untimely demise.
Congrats on your speedy recovery and the apparent success of the surgery. Now stop reading this and get back to the Joy-chasing.
JoyDad: Let me know when you are ready for one of those running belt thingys for your next race. They are now fully endorsed as "not being silly" according to RatM
