Yesterday’s slow three mile jog to the High School to pick up my bicycle (from the night before) resulted in a flare up of the right calf pain from three days ago.
Was so frustrated in the moment, i was going to rearrange the whole day to accommodate storming into my Podiatrists office and demand answers – potentially firing him.
There is no justifiable reason for such a sharp pain to continue after i have repeatedly (over the years) shared my concerns and we have repeatedly run tests to find the cause. The end result is always, “Keep doing what you’re doing, everything looks fine.”
Yesterday’s pain (and Wednesday’s pain) was so severe i stopped jogging to walk the last half mile to school. The walking was painful too, like a major “charlie horse“.
Sharp pain simply in walking.
Come on.
There has to be a reason.

Literally shut out by the travel disruption. No exercise to speak of on Friday or yesterday (Monday). Did get a 5k walk in yesterday, so that was better than nothing.
Take what we can get when the going gets tougher.
And always always always…keep moving (forward).

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.
Not exercising on this trip is losing the proverbial battle.
Traveling, cold weather, commitments and adjusting to a new routine all make exercise more challenging.
We know this.
Yet we try to overcome it.
We often fail more than succeed at this.
Let it go.
Soon enough you’ll be home again.
