Heel. Sit. Stay.

Sooooo remember that time I was going to start running and writing again, right? Well, what had'a happened wuz that I completed a couch to 5K program, ran for a few more weeks with pick-ups included, and then I decided to do a 5K speed test. *sigh* And then I couldn't put weight on my left heel without discomfort. And forget running on it. I rested and iced and heated and rested - except that I was still walking on it regularly for exercise & work. oh, and I rowed...  and all those things didn't help it get better. So I gave up on everything except lifting weights and doing ab routines. I ordered new shoes. And I finally, when the trouble persisted even without running, I went to see The Witch Dr, Dr Rob Green, so he could take a look at it and give me the bad news. only, apparently it wasn't THE WORST BAD news. It was just I figured I'd really hurt it, but as it turns out it was only a mild thing and I have PT to complete and hopefully after I pay

Tomorrow and Yesterday

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday." - John Wayne As I was wandering back in from a particularly satisfying interval run with a brand new running buddy this weekend, I was suddenly struck by an urge to WRITE something. It was ... nice.  And weird. It's been a long time since I have had the urge to write. I haven’t been running too much for over a year now. I started back and had set backs, and now finally, after months of trying to be consistent, I am finally laying down a few miles, two or three days a week. For those who followed the old me, this is a bit strange sounding. I mean, I used to lay down 40 - 50 miles a week.  But that was then. And this is now. “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”  ―  Lewis Carroll ,  Alice in Wonderland
