Will 2017 be the year of a definitive diagnosis?
Chronic lower right calf and right ankle pain has never been diagnosed.
i’d like to change that.
i will change it.
So i start 2017 by pushing harder for the answer.

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.

We had a decent walk yesterday before dinner.
i wonder if there’s a solution. Not to terrorism (yes, of course terrorism), but i mean, to pain.
The nagging, unpredictable lower right leg pain.
It flares up sometimes just walking.

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.

Yesterday was the fourth run without orthotics. The first week was only three miles each run. But yesterday it was seven miles. Nice and easy. Is it possible to let go of a 12+ year crutch?
Chronic foot challenges are an invisible disability.
So is a couple’s infertility.
Life goes on.
Depending on what’s important and how bad you want something, you can find a way to keep moving forward.
Don’t let good excuses become a habit.

Knowing i wouldn’t be running today (Monday) because of the cross-country flight, i ran yesterday; a rare Sunday run. Only 3.5 miles, super slow, reconditioning my feet to thrive with0ut orthotics.
So much intentionality from something so routine.
Yesterday was also the Disneyland Star Wars half-marathon. It was fun to run amongst so many other runners and walkers. The force was strong.
