After four days of rest, there was surprisingly little foot pain yesterday. Does this mean the pain was simply from over use?
Heading out for a run this morning. Might be a mistake. Might not be.

Will this morning bring a sigh of relief from last week, which began with a Podiatrist visit?
Only ran twice last week. A couple of 10-milers, miraculously, without foot pain.
And then there were hours, days even, where the pain was literally debilitating just to walk.

It’s one set back after another, just like in nature. Study nature long enough and you learn a brutal truth. Nature is survival of the fittest. Everything else gets eaten in due time.
The newest foot pain is driving him crazy because he knows exactly where it’s located, but there are no visible signs on the skin’s surface for him or his Podiatrist to see, and take action on.
Semi-scary.
And yet he knows this too shall pass.
But why did it have to happen now?

i learn by going where i have not gone.
Technically, running should not work for someone like me with chronic foot challenges.
Pushing the boundaries of pain management, injury prevention and injury recovery can wear a person down, big time.
A smarter person would have quit years ago.
PS. Running is simply a metaphor for life.

Two days ago the pain was excruciating and the run was cancelled. Yesterday however, after a fairly painful ten minute walk, a ten mile run ensued. How that was possible remains a mystery.
The 7th and 8th miles where seven-minutes flat. And the preceding six miles each got progressively faster, thanks in large part to zero pain.
This was a bit surprising stunning.
This morning? No pain. How? Why?
Time will tell.
The first five months of retirement have been impressively enlightening.
