Progress and wisdom are a dynamic duo

Half-mile split by jeff noel masters track
Carried an iPhone/stopwatch in both races.

 

Saturday’s track meet had several firsts, including one that is significant:

No soreness and no pain from overdoing it.

Not that evening. Not yesterday. Not now.

This is huge.

Progress.

Wisdom.

PS. For a 56 year old to run a single event with a time like that could create some stiffness. To do both on the same day, almost guaranteed soreness.

The mystery of chronic pain

Physical Therapy prescription
Podiatrist recommended prescription.

 

While the script is two months old, it’s better late than never.

David was incredibly thorough. His mission was to look for imbalances between right side and left side.

Range of motion and strength were pretty well balanced. This means the chronic upper achilles/lower calf pain remains a mystery.

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning?

Night resting foot splints.
Only a handful know jeff noel has worn these for a dozen years.

 

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning? The goal for this morning’s 5k is 22:10.

In the 55-59 age group, that should be in the top five, or better.

In his first ever 5k, he ran 22:10 a decade ago as a 45-year old.

And 12 years ago began wearing night resting foot splints every night.

No one knows. No one cares.

Sharing it to say this:

Excuses bore me. Please keep yours to yourself.

Is it time to rejoice from such an invisible thing?

Fourth morning in a row without foot pain.

This is a big deal.

It also brings disproportionally joy to the event itself.

Take what we can get, right?
