Friday’s Doctor visit yielded an Achilles Tendonitis diagnosis.

Because of the higher location of the pain, Dr J prescribed an ultrasound and an x-ray, just to be sure.

Never saw this one coming, and it looks like it’s a runner’s nightmare.

Life goes on.

Easier To Just Give Up?

So things are humming along nicely. Running six-minute miles at will. Little to no pain in left foot. Core is stronger than every (in 51 years no less).

August 2011 the Masters Track & Field World Championships will be on American soil. This could be a great year to run injury-free.

Amazing feeling!

And then two weeks ago, a startling pain in my right calf. Out of nowhere, and apparently for no reason.

Have tried rest, extra slow running, and yesterday, simply walking. A far cry from a world-class regime.

Yep, it would definitely be easier to just give up. How familiar are you with this feeling?

  2. Keep going, because we are setting the example

Sometimes, not being able to exercise, even though you want to, is a gift. You just have to know the difference.
