Running.
And when unable to run, walking.

Category: The (Painful) Journey
Lean into discomfort, example
How we react to being alone and quiet measures our life’s quality. A ‘disappointment’ became a revelation.
When i couldn’t run without pain, the revelation eventually appeared.
i love running fast.
Thought i couldn’t let go of what i love.
But more than running fast, a revelation…
i simply love to run, at any speed.
And when that was not possible, the revelation appeared.

Patiently vibrant
Heads up, the rest of today’s posts intentionally have no photo.
Patiently vibrant.
Slowly increasing reps and mileage.
Reintegrating stretching into a consistent nighttime routine.
The long way is the short cut.

Slow and steady
Have slowed the pace and cut mileage by 50%.
Running every other day, three times a week. Bicycling twice a week on the non-run days. Rest on weekends.
See masseuse every 10 days or so for 90 minutes.
Perhaps consistently running pain-free will become a thing again.

Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy at Massage Envy (ME).
ME has a new meaning based on yesterday’s 90-minute therapy session.
It dawned on me yesterday that the reason for the two to three massages a month is because of ME.
ME…Massage Extravagance.
Meanwhile there is continued daily bombing of Ukraine, a rising civilian death toll and an astronomically insane refugee count (over 3-million and growing).
It is easy to feel guilt and embarrassment during the physical therapy sessions.
But then the ME (massage extravagance) reality that ME (Massage Envy) was inappropriately charging me every month for 24 months.
What began months ago, well before any sign of war, was just a guy trying to use up the two-year’s worth of credits that ME refused to refund – not even refund half.
Been in and out of running (slowly) pain-free. When a pain flareup happens, Michelle does her therapy magic on the hot spot. So far it’s working.
