Eight weeks Post Op Prostate Surgery

This is the screen shot of my Garmin 8 weeks and one day post op from my prostate surgery.

    This week marked 8 weeks since my surgery. I seem to be getting better at a quicker pace than I thought I would be. When I was 4 weeks post op, I was happy to top 10,000 steps in a day. Now I'm running 4 miles nonstop after work, and it feels fine doing it. The only real issue I'm having is the incontinence still. It seems to be better when I'm doing nonactive things, but throw in some physical exertion, and the dribbles still happen. I'm still doing the Kegels daily, and with the doctor's permission, I've added stomach crunches this week. One thing I added to my diet in the last 2 weeks is Whey Protein. My theory is the pelvic floor muscle is a muscle, and it is being overworked, so why not add some extra protein to my diet to help it heal? Not sure it will help, but I bought the chocolate flavor, and add it to almond milk, so it's tasty anyway.
     I did encounter a couple of problems with my run yesterday. I forgot my athletic tape to make my custom running depends pad, so I was forced to go redneck, and use gray duct tape. It worked. Of course, the weather was fine all day yesterday until I started my run, then it began to rain. Other than that, the run was fine. Today, I did 45 minutes on the treadmill, running for 7 minutes, walking for 2 minutes, getting in 4.1 miles. I hate running on a treadmill. I have a month until I try to run a 5k race, so I need to train somehow.
     I would like to congratulate Carl Stromberg, a training buddy from the Santa Clarita Running Club. Last weekend at the USATF Masters Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Carl took 1st in the 60-64 age group 3000 meters in a time of 11:36.11.
