Lean into discomfort, example

21-second 2020 video: Recorded this video maybe an hour before today’s previous MLC post’s video.

How we react to being alone and quiet measures our life’s quality. A ‘disappointment’ became a revelation.

When i couldn’t run without pain, the revelation eventually appeared.

i love running fast.

Thought i couldn’t let go of what i love.

But more than running fast, a revelation…

i simply love to run, at any speed.

And when that was not possible, the revelation appeared.

Pain is a neighbor

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.

Does it hurt well enough

When the pain of holding back is greater than anything else, you are onto something.

Where does perspective lie?

A lie would make no sense, unless the truth were felt to be dangerous.
