Pain is a neighbor

Fun is finding an angle to create a sun reflection on the pin.

Pain is a neighbor.

Pain is back.

Not in either foot though.

Pain in the lower left calf (again).

Debilitating pain.

Excruciating pain.

Pain that will likely be a permanent part of life, for the rest of my life.

Grateful that walking is doable.

As we head into Summer 2022 (yes, it’s January 2023 as this publishes), the excitement for mountain hiking is fun to anticipate. Even after all these years, the thrill is still there.

Slow and steady

Pain-free run today. This 2.5 miles is part of a six-mile total cardio today.

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.

What about a running goal?

Ran two miles without pain. Remarkable. This was 6 months ago before going to Glacier for the Summer. There was no running in Glacier.

What about a running goal?

The only running goal, currently, is to be able to run again.

Competing again is not a goal, but it is a dream.

There is something about aging athletes that is inspiring- as if to say, age means nothing.

Grateful for the pain

Disney Keynote Speaker
i love being an entrepreneur. A crazy misfit. An outlier. A dreamer. And so on. Grateful for all the struggles. It means i’m moving forward on a big dream.

No pain jogging yesterday.

It’s insane how long i’ve lived with nagging foot pain.

Grateful for the pain though.

There are others who have no feet and they would give anything to have sore feet.

No pain, go gain

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
At Disney, or anywhere greatness is abundant.

No pain, go gain.

The 30-day break from running has morphed into 2-3 years. i never wrote the date down because it wasn’t supposed to be a significant gap.

Continuous foot pain. At any moment. For any reason. Its cause never uncovered. So all i could do was move on.

The biking and walking to the gym have been my cardio supplements without running.

And then we returned from a family trip to Glacier National Park.

We began running one-mailbox-a-day a few days later on August 6, 2018. This is a significant date because all three of us began together – with a dream of lifetime fitness.

Our run this morning was about 1.25 miles at a slow pace. But we are out the door long before the sun is up. That is a miracle, a blessing.

For weeks now, i haven’t detected a hint of pain.
