Short, easy run

My Lymphedema appointment went fine today.  The PT specialist said my measurements were down from last time, especially my upper arm which worried me by being bigger than usual at my last appointment.  She agreed that the glove was a good fit and gave me kudos for managing the swelling well.  She sent me off with instructions to keep up what I've been doing.  However, today my hand has been swelling more than usual - last night too.  I think I'll wrap it in the finger and ace combo wrap tonight.  I hate that thing.

This evening I was scheduled to do a short easy run.  I added a mile to it, though, because I don't expect to get many miles in this week due to the kids' Regional Championship swim meet which occurs all day and all evening on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  I plan to do my long run on Thursday.

Tonight I put in 3 miles in 30:58 with the splits at 10:28, 10:10, and 10:19.  I was on the RPAC track and was in good company.  I was lapped by my colleague, Tom, who is an impressive marathon runner and an Ironman triathlete.
