An Odd Feeling in Orlando

Greetings! For the first time in my adult life I visited the sunshine state of Florida and didn’t go for a run. Not to worry, The Streak is not in jeopardy. I continue to have lingering tenderness following a medical procedure after the Atlanta 10 Miler in October.

We arrived in FL Friday to spend the day at Epcot for the International Food and Wine Festival and a concert by Sister Hazel. This was our third time to attend the event and see Sister Hazel. Each time made for a fantastic experience. The band always make it worth the time to see them live. They are particularly lively in FL, their home state.  This year Epcot seemed particularly crowded. I was fine with that as I was ambling around slower than usual due to my uncomfortable left foot.

We spent the night in Orlando. I felt particularly odd Saturday morning when I milled around early in the morning rather than going for a run. It was a particularly nice morning. That hurt just as much given it’s mid-November. The good news is our hotel had a very nice fitness center I used for a resistance workout.

Only a couple of days later, my foot has improved markedly. I must say, it is a delight to begin to take normal walking strides. I have mentioned before on this site that I recognize it as a privilege to have the good health and discretional time to run. I am always grateful for the gift of running. Days like today, I see it in a different light and continue to be thankful for the opportunities afforded me.

Appreciate your feet. Run.
