Regardless, I still am quite a bit slower than pre-surgery , probably more to do with being about 10 pounds heavier from my time off than the actual time off itself I guess.
Either way, tomorrow is my first "race" post surgery, a 30km race (about 18-19 miles). I am not actually racing it though. I have a 18 mile long run on the training schedule for tomorrow so I figured this would help me get out running on roads that hopefully are safer with police helping would be nice. Will be the longest run I have done since last October, but I figure it may be slow but I should be able to finish it at some point.

yeah, it's been a very rough winter this year. You with lots of snow, us up north with some crazy cold temps...
I have about the same plan as you for this Summer. In the middle of my marathon training, on a weekend in which I'm supposed to run a 20 miler, there's a race that does a 7K loop any number of times you want so I plan on doing it 4 times for 28 km. With a couple km as warmup, that would put me just one mile short of 20 and I would do it only slightly faster than my usual long run pace but would benefit from having rehydration taken care of by volunteers on the race
