Dr Kumar does surgeries on Thursdays.

After Monday’s loss of sight and a walk-in visit to my local Eye Doctor, it was fate that led directly to Dr Kumar late Monday afternoon.

Eye surgery day, body

Eye surgery is scary.

Asleep and naked.

Nothing to hide.

Like most days (year-round actually), i wore only running shorts and running shoes.

Note: The last three sentences were written last night as a kickstarter for this blog. It turned out differently…

Arrived in jean shirts, wearing running shorts underneath, two t-shirts and a jacket.

Escorted back to the prep area and didn’t need to remove any clothing. The room was warmer than the freezing waiting room, so i ditched the jacket.

A delightful first.

Age means nothing and exercise gets unfairly criticized

Motivation IS Oxygen – without purpose we are doomed

 

The 70-something woman who has never exercised commented last night that she has much more energy after her physical therapy sessions.

Afterwards she has the energy to do four or five errands – something previously unheard of.

For five weeks she’s been going to therapy to strengthen her legs because in five days she is having knee replacement surgery.

The stereotype is that exercise makes us tired.

Guess again.

Comeback 2013 update. Ran 18 minutes without stopping yesterday. One and a half miles.

This morning no run, although there is a bit of a race…

To get everyone and everything in the car by 6am.

Wishing you the best today, and a really nice carrot

Get healthy quick promises
An honest question, how many folks who sign up for this are still exercising five years later?

 

The real goal of wanting, and becoming qualified and brave enough, to go Nationals is simply this:

A carrot to keep moving forward.

That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is in being unable to run that the true nature of why I run becomes so crystal clear.

Wishing you the best today, and a really nice carrot.
