This is my story about trying to return to competitive masters running on the roads, trails, and in 400 meter circles, after undergoing prostate removal on December 27, 2016.

Peeing Bloody Scabs
I continued to improve, some bladder control was coming back. On January 28th, I did 45 minutes walking on the treadmill, nonstop. I was excited. It didn't hurt too much, I was still having trouble standing up straight. On the 29, I had a little blood in my urine. Next thing, out comes this bloody scab. It didn't hurt, but I could feel it. Immediately, my urine cleared up. About 2 hours later, the same thing happened. I got a little scared and decided to rest, no treadmill that day. Before the day was over, I passed a total of 4 scabs. Monday, I was fine, urine clear. Tuesday, I passed 5, and Wednesday 4 more. Each time it was the same story, discolored urine, followed by a scab flying into the toilet. By now I had gotten used to it, the shock value had disappeared. I did manage to walk 30 minutes Wednesday night on the treadmill, the 1st since the previous Saturday. Thursday, I skipped the treadmill, as I had my 1st PSA blood test Friday morning. Now it's nervous time as I won't get the results until February 13th.
