Crazy how important those three mornings are

Crazy how important those three mornings are.

Monday.

Wednesday.

Friday.

Each morning there’s a 25-mile roundtrip bicycle ride to the gym. About an hour each way, plus an hour in the gym.

And each bicycle ride means an additional day of no running.

i really like accumulating an increasing number of “rest-from-running” days.

Biking is healing a part of my whole that would be suffering if there was no legitimate replacement for running.

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.

Get it done asap

Ran 9.5 miles yesterday morning and then headed to podiatrist to have a tiny buildup removed from the ball of my foot. Because the pain only began a week ago, i took care of it before it affected running.

No one cares about our mundane details

Walked many a mile each day this past week, without orthotics.

 

Note: i’m prepared to abandon what i’ve done for 12 years in an effort to discover if there’s a breakthrough that could happen by letting go of what i think i’m supposed to do (and have done).

Booked a checkup with my podiatrist yesterday while waiting at LAX for an 8am departure to Walt Disney World. Why share this when no one cares about our mundane details?

To remind myself how important our mundane details are. Otherwise it’s incredibly enticing to believe our mundane isn’t important.

It will be a week before i can see Dr Wagner, the earliest available.

The tiny cyst can cause excruciating pain. Hopefully it won’t debilitate my running before it’s removed. Also want Dr Wagner’s advice on eliminating custom orthotics after 12+ years.

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.

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.
