Whole again

Last Monday I went into the podiatrist's. I had a liquid nitrogen treatment six weeks earlier, and had been applying prescription strength acid to them. There were still thick, white layers coming away, I figured I needed another blast of pure cold.

She scraped away all the white materials ... and pronounced me clean. I was clean. They were gone.

I walked out of the office in a daze. I expected to be hobbling out, but I was striding out with the same awareness of my absence of pain as I was when I strode in.

And I began to cry. Seriously. I had no idea this was troubling me so much emotionally but it was undeniable.

At last, my foot is complete again.

It has been a week since I last ran. I will do the Cleveland in two weeks. Not a way to train.
