Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Will this morning bring a sigh of relief from last week, which began with a Podiatrist visit?
Only ran twice last week. A couple of 10-milers, miraculously, without foot pain.
And then there were hours, days even, where the pain was literally debilitating just to walk.

i learn by going where i have not gone.
Technically, running should not work for someone like me with chronic foot challenges.
Pushing the boundaries of pain management, injury prevention and injury recovery can wear a person down, big time.
A smarter person would have quit years ago.
PS. Running is simply a metaphor for life.

Two days ago the pain was excruciating and the run was cancelled. Yesterday however, after a fairly painful ten minute walk, a ten mile run ensued. How that was possible remains a mystery.
The 7th and 8th miles where seven-minutes flat. And the preceding six miles each got progressively faster, thanks in large part to zero pain.
This was a bit surprising stunning.
This morning? No pain. How? Why?
Time will tell.
The first five months of retirement have been impressively enlightening.

Unexplainable that yesterday’s run was impossible because of excruciating foot pain.
Why the pain?
And to remove the temptation to run in spite of the pain, it was raining. Not a fan of running in the cold rain.
So no run.
Immediately opted for an earlier than normal gym workout.
On the way home, a “Why not?” moment and pulled into Sand lake Commons Medical complex to see about a walk-in appointment.
The pain had vanished the way our vehicle stops making that weird noise when we take it to the mechanic.
Foot pain is back again today.

Unforeseen setbacks are part of the deal. Will visit the podiatrist this morning, without an appointment, hoping to be seen by Dr Wagner.
Most likely a tiny cyst putting excruciating pain on the ball of the foot.
No 10-miler today.
Bummer.
Was planning, after a few warmup miles, on a one-mile time trial – the foundation of speed work.
Nationals are in four months. No time to waste.
