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.

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

West Gulf Drive, Sanibel — Yesterday morning’s 7-miler.

i quit, he said to himself.

On yesterday morning’s first run on Sanibel Island, the pain kicked in big time at mile six, during a three-minute half-mile interval.

With Nationals and World’s looming, where i wanted to be and where i am are far apart.

Wisdom is knowing the real goal is to simply to be able to run freely, and pain-free.

Dream killer or heart attack?

Dream killer or heart attack?

The foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone. The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone. The leg bone’s connected to the hip bone. On up to our heart, then straight on to our dreams.

Podiatrist said, “Everything looks great. As we age, we can expect some pain associated solely to the aging process, not because of injury. Keep doing what you’re doing.”
