So much intentionality in one simple decision

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
No, didn’t run this one, but did run near it.

 

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
It was fun to run anywhere i wanted.

 

Knowing i wouldn’t be running today (Monday) because of the cross-country flight, i ran yesterday; a rare Sunday run. Only 3.5 miles, super slow, reconditioning my feet to thrive with0ut orthotics.

So much intentionality from something so routine.

Yesterday was also the Disneyland Star Wars half-marathon. It was fun to run amongst so many other runners and walkers. The force was strong.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

This website is about our physical health. To easily and safely leave this site to read today’s post on jeff’s spiritual health website, click here.

 

No celebration just yet, but

On the horizon, is it a finish line?

 

Today will be the first track workout of 2015. Looking to do intervals, probably 400’s.

You know that feeling you get when a long, frustrating journey is coming to an end?

Today is a day like that.

The mystery of chronic pain

While the script is two months old, it’s better late than never.

David was incredibly thorough. His mission was to look for imbalances between right side and left side.

Range of motion and strength were pretty well balanced. This means the chronic upper achilles/lower calf pain remains a mystery.

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning?

Night resting foot splints.
Only a handful know jeff noel has worn these for a dozen years.

 

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning? The goal for this morning’s 5k is 22:10.

In the 55-59 age group, that should be in the top five, or better.

In his first ever 5k, he ran 22:10 a decade ago as a 45-year old.

And 12 years ago began wearing night resting foot splints every night.

No one knows. No one cares.

Sharing it to say this:

Excuses bore me. Please keep yours to yourself.

Is it time to rejoice from such an invisible thing?

Fourth morning in a row without foot pain.

This is a big deal.

It also brings disproportionally joy to the event itself.

Take what we can get, right?
