Makes me sad, I can’t deny it. I want to live a happy and healthy life and I’m not healthy now and not happy. Why? I can’t walk. I love walking. And I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out something I can do with this whole bone spur/Achilles injury. Patience.

Over the months it gets harder than ever. But this episode, which you can hear in its entirety at RunningAFEVER.com/73, gives me a couple of ideas, and a little encouragement:

Injuries are a fact of life, and hopefully, I’ll get back to the minimum strength required. To not be further injured, I’ll need to start slow.

And weights. I can still do some weight work, though even that is limited. I can stretch and work on flexibility. In fact, I’ve been prescribed stretching exercises for my ankle. So I’ll do that.

And I can get my diet back in shape. One problem with my diet now, is that I’m not finding palatable the foods I used to eat. But I am seeking alternatives that are healthy. So, there’s always a little sunshine behind the clouds, perhaps a candle against the curse of darkness. Blessings in disguise.
