Is it just an illusion?

Epcot Taxi stand
Cab drivers spend a great deal of time waiting.

 

In the roughly three-mile roundtrip walk from car to lunch at Epcot’s Japan, never felt a second of lower right calf pain.

So weird.

As if nothing painful and disappointing had happened the day before.

Get it done asap

A tiny buildup, on the left, can cause excruciating pain.

 

Ran 9.5 miles yesterday morning and then headed to podiatrist to have a tiny buildup removed from the ball of my foot. Because the pain only began a week ago, i took care of it before it affected running.

No one cares about our mundane details

Walked many a mile each day this past week, without orthotics.

 

Note: i’m prepared to abandon what i’ve done for 12 years in an effort to discover if there’s a breakthrough that could happen by letting go of what i think i’m supposed to do (and have done).

Booked a checkup with my podiatrist yesterday while waiting at LAX for an 8am departure to Walt Disney World. Why share this when no one cares about our mundane details?

To remind myself how important our mundane details are. Otherwise it’s incredibly enticing to believe our mundane isn’t important.

It will be a week before i can see Dr Wagner, the earliest available.

The tiny cyst can cause excruciating pain. Hopefully it won’t debilitate my running before it’s removed. Also want Dr Wagner’s advice on eliminating custom orthotics after 12+ years.

Pain is your body’s way of speaking to you

Lower right abdominal pain
That’s in the vicinity of the pain area.

 

Lower right abdominal pain
Maybe?

 

Pain is your body’s way of speaking to you. While the above are all possibilities, so is a simple muscle strain. So i’m backing off the core exercises to see if rest is the remedy.

Simply being able to run pain free is gold

Tomorrow is the day i was supposed to fly to France for the 2015 WMA Masters Track & Field World Championships to represent the Team USA in the 400 and 800.

Have accepted the reality that an injury has made it a no go.

Rather than wallow in sorrow, i’ve been relishing the reality that simply being able to run pain free is gold.
