4 EZ on JRP with friends.  Feeling really good and looking forward to running further and faster.

Yesterday I went to the Dermatologist.  I went asking about some blotchy patches on my chest and back.  She said they are Tinea Versicolor.  After diagnosing that the fun started.  "What's this red blotch?  Looks cancerous.  We'd better do a biopsy..."  I left with a hole in my shoulder and on my scalp, a couple of stiches, and a frozen spot on my eyebrow.  I guess that's what I get for 41 years in the sun.  Luckily nothing looks like the scary kind of cancer (no melanoma).  I'll get the biopsy results in a week.

That's a good reminder to all take proper care to protect ourselves from the sun. I hope it all turns out well. Happy B-day.
