i wonder if there’s a solution

We decided to go out in public yesterday despite the terrorism.

Under our exterior is an emotional ache that’s difficult to describe.

 

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.

Risk taking 101

Lower center, just above tree line – the moon is setting as i leave for the gym.

 

Cycling 25 miles round trip just to go to the gym was a one-time solution to skip a day of running to rest a sore leg.

That was two weeks ago.

Now i’m 96% convinced that i will take an indefinite break from running.

Could be a month.

Might be six months.

Time will tell.

Feeling exceptionally creative (choosing to bike is just a simple, but dramatic departure from normal) because underneath the physical focus is a work initiative that’s going to blow the roof off what i’ve done in the past.

And breaking free (intentionally or unintentionally) from normal is very inspiring.

Stay healthy, have fun

Yesterday’s slow run included two splits that were virtually pain free,

 

An 8:16 mile four and a 6:51 mile six are quite ordinary when held against the past year’s running. But with the recent resurfacing of right calf pain, these times become something to really feel good about. Find a million ways to stay motivated.

Find a million ways isn’t theory

Body fat test
Yesterday the Golds Gym staff was offering free body fat tests.

 

And so it goes.

Was optimistic the calf pain would be nonexistent.

Two slow miles later, pain was enough to make walking the only intelligent choice.

What to do?

Rode a bicycle 25 miles round trip to the gym and back.

PS. Yes, well aware i’m about eight pounds over a healthier weight.

Drum roll please

hand drawing of lower leg muscles
Hoping my soleus feels like a winner this morning.

 

Will the lower right calf muscle pull (from three days ago) be a non-issue this morning?

Saturday and Sunday were none-issue days, even with a fair amount of walking.
