Walk, Don’t Run

I know my days of clocking 7 minutes/mile in a half-marathon are behind me. But now I fear that I’m done with running all together, making this my final time in managing to complete a distance of 5K/3.1 miles.

My acute ankle injury has become chronic, to the extent that it appears the bones are deforming. I have scheduled an appointment with a podiatrist at an orthopedic center.

Until then I am limiting myself to walking and riding the old Nordic Track ski machine. The upside of both activities is listening to podcasts. Today while on the Nordic Track, I listened to part 3 of the Richard Feynman series on Freakonomics Radio.
