To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Steve Prefontaine

Today i walked five miles and “jogged” across the road intersections.

Perhaps i can quickly (since my body has rested the past 9 months) start running again like i was a year ago.

A year ago, May 2023, i was running (six-minute per mile pace) one or even two telephone poles at a time for a mile or more.

It felt like Heaven, considering i hadn’t been able to run, at all. Period. Not even at 15-minutes per mile pace.

Note: The difference between a 6-minute mile pace versus 15-minute mile pace is astronomical. The difference between trying to run, with severe pain, and running without pain is equally astronomical.
