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.

Unexplainable that yesterday’s run was impossible because of excruciating foot pain.
Why the pain?
And to remove the temptation to run in spite of the pain, it was raining. Not a fan of running in the cold rain.
So no run.
Immediately opted for an earlier than normal gym workout.
On the way home, a “Why not?” moment and pulled into Sand lake Commons Medical complex to see about a walk-in appointment.
The pain had vanished the way our vehicle stops making that weird noise when we take it to the mechanic.
Foot pain is back again today.

The long way is the short cut. Ran a very slow five-miler this morning before sunrise. First time running in new shoes. Walked about 40 miles at Disneyland, plus 60 miles logged walking in Orlando prior.
Because of foot challenges, have been wearing trail running shoes for 12 years. The new shoes are a dramatic departure. This could cause new foot injuries if the adjustment is not gradual enough.
One hundred miles was a great break in effort. No issues on today’s run.
