You must pick your pain

tough runner's planks — Revisiting this photo from a couple days ago. Why? Planks can be difficult. Not having good core strength is difficult too. Pick one.

You must pick your pain.

Text conversation with a former Disney Institute colleague.

Recommended my Podiatrist to him.

He’s visited Dr. Curtis Wagner.

Making progress.

Mark asked me yesterday, “How long did it take for the pain to go away?”

“Two years, or more.”

Then i said, “Get the night boots and the custom orthotic inserts.”

He has trouble sleeping with the boots.

Who doesn’t?

Totally unnatural to wear boots to bed, night after night, year after year.

Hey, i get it.

Been there done that.

Is the hassle (pain) of night boots worse than the pain (hassle) of every step of your waking life?

If you hate running, this is probably why

family — Dinner last night was well-balanced.

family buffet — Qdoba catering did an exceptional job.

After almost two years intentional rest from running (1st break since 1999) we (Family) began running one mailbox a day last Monday. Tomorrow, it’s two mailboxes a day – Monday through Friday.

Mailboxes are 100 meters apart in our neighborhood.

It will take one month to run the equivalent on one lap around a high school track.

Have always believed the reason most people say they don’t like running is because they do too much too soon, and they quit before they even get started.

Our pace is slower than walking by the way.

Finally, everyone knows that running (or walking, or swimming, biking, etc) improves so many things, right?

Happy present moment.

If not now, when?
If not ever, why?

Today begins run-one-mailbox-a-day-for a week

Swimming pool float — Took this photo yesterday to text Cheryl a question about our pool floats.

Today begins “run-one-mailbox-a-day-for a week”.

Why?

The rest-break from running has been 19 months – 18 months longer than intended, and it’s time to see if the rest worked.

Years of chronic foot pain prompted a last ditch effort to try a remedy (prolonged rest) i had never attempted.

Just came back from a super slow jog from our mailbox to our neighbor’s mailbox – roughly 100 meters.

PS. Today is opening day for the 2018 Masters Track and Field National Championships in Spokane, Washington.

Coincidence?

No.

Walking may be healing my feet

Biking Going to the Sun Road June 2018…more on this in future posts.

Walking may be healing my feet.

Looking forward to this morning’s four-mile roundtrip walk to the gym.

Too early to know for sure, but it feels like abandoning the bicycle and walking 9-12 miles (just to & from the gym) a week is doing something important for my feet.

Take the shoe-leather express

Louisville riverfront — Passed two news vehicles on the four-mile walk to work yesterday.

Louisville sunrise — Room service delivery arrived later yesterday, so the sun was higher than the day before when i reached this spot.

Take the shoe-leather express.

Also known as walking.

On top of consecutive days of long walking commutes, work involved six-plus hours of classroom standing.

It was quietly exhilarating to push myself to this rare extreme.

And the day-dream of spending a summer doing daily hikes through Glacier National Park was alive and well.
