Finding a Way

Greetings! Thanks to 20 years of running and cardio style exercise, I developed a fairly significant callous on the bottom of my foot. It didn’t hurt per say, but it was beginning to annoy me. So, last week I underwent a quick and painless medical procedure to have it removed. The doctor repeated many times, “you will hate me tomorrow.”  She suggested the pain will become very intense very soon.  She added that for some people 8 hours is a breaking point. The pain came as she said around four hours afterwards. Fortunately, I was asleep for the night at the eight-hour mark.

Walking at 4:00 AM the following morning was a more than ginger. I took ibuprofen and forged on with my regular day, which included a resistance workout with a Tony Horton program at 5:00 AM. It’s been a week now and the bottom of my foot remains very sensitive. I have not been able to run at all, but thanks to a variety of resistance workout routines, The Streak remains intact. Hopefully, all will return to normal very soon, as the Atlanta Half Marathon, the last Peach is 24 days from now. 

Lift weights if you can’t Run.
