We may conceal them for decades

We all have pains invisible to others and we may conceal them for decades

 

Please count active rest as exercise. If you planned it and it’s an integral part of your wellness routine, than it counts 100%.

But the past five days of no running have not been planned.

Only three more days until the Podiatrist looks at the newest foot challenge.

Even in pain

quote
Even in pain. Suck it up and live like you mean it.

 

Foot is so sore, there have been many moments the past week where it’s been painful simply to walk.

Suck it up.

One day at a time.

That’s all we get.

Live like you mean it.

Even in pain.

Handle these things and move forward

Unplanned Podiatrist visit made for late arrival to client (graphic artist) meeting – life is challenging, learn to recognize and control the controllables

 

Yesterday’s run lasted 400 meters. Stopped, walked back home.

Made it to the podiatrist when they opened at 8am.

A quick, simple removal of a tiny cyst and good to go again.

Something so tiny.

So crippling.

Had been icing the foot for over a week, thinking it was a bruise on the ball of the foot.

Live and learn. Recover as quickly as possible.

It will happen again.

Handle it and move forward.

What keeps us going when the most unexpected setback taunts us yet again?

Florida vanity license plate
“To 55″… yes, age is also a risk factor for foot (or any) injuries

 

It’s probably achilles tendonitis.

Probably stimulated from wearing different orthotics for a week. And possibly from not changing out running shoes soon enough.

Just enough difference to put strain where there normally isn’t.

What keeps us going when the most unexpected setback taunts us yet again?

An insidious habit of focusing on urgency rather than importance

Healthy feet are taken for granted, like most other healthy things

Annual checkup and new custom orthotics prescription

 

It’s often challenging to schedule medical checkups due to busy schedules or simply because we have an insidious habit of focusing on urgency rather than importance.

Live like you mean it means taking regular risks, escaping our comfort zone.

Driving home from Gold’s gym yesterday made a spontaneous decision one block before missing the opportunity to turn right to see Dr Wagner, unscheduled.

Otherwise, it could end up being December and going, uh oh.
