Nervous about your health when you awaken?

i was yesterday.

Hadn’t run in 11 days (nursing chronic, undiagnosed pain), so walked and jogged an easy four miles.

No pain in right calf. None in ankle either.

Yay.

Nationals in three days.

Departing for World’s in 20.

Hope and faith round two

Biking on Sanibel
Eight miles one day.

 

Bicycle path on Sanibel
Ten miles the next.

 

Hope and faith round two. Hope the calf pain will go away. Not sure i have faith it will happen before Nationals in 12 days.

And even if it does, the physical conditioning is diminished due to inactivity.

Such is life.

As a small compromise, Chapin and i casually biked the past two mornings.

Comeback 2015 is probably ruined

Jenny Simpson wisdom
Greatness might never come.

 

Jenny Simpson wisdom
Slow and steady wins the race?

 

Jenny Simpson wisdom
perhaps the multitude of setbacks are necessary to tell a better story.

 

Comeback 2015 is probably ruined.

Have been fighting this potential reality for exactly 18 days, since Father’s Day.

The lower right calf pain from The Sunshine State Games is back. Yesterday’s eight-mile walk-run-walk on the beach was far too painful for world class training.

And just yesterday, enter Jenny Simpson’s words of wisdom.

Just like that

Glacier Red Bus tours
Yesterday the annual Summer Glacier trip was booked – a great stress reducer.

 

Just like that, the pain has disappeared.

We’ll see if it stays away during this morning’s run.

Why do these things continue to happen?

Moon
iPhone 6 wasn’t that great in capturing the moon. But the the notion of the moon and stars aligning…

 

Why do these things continue to happen?

Pain, injury, set backs.

Why?

The real reason – the one we never see – is the fact that we haven’t quit.

These challenges keep surfacing because we are still on the path to somewhere – a dream maybe.

Turn back, or quit, and none of these things are anything to worry about.

Pain has migrated from right calf to right ankle.

So weird and unexplainable.
