Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

No running yesterday, today, or tomorrow. I'm on day two of another apple fast, so trying to avoid physical exertion. Figured this would be my last chance for a cleanse before starting up winter training, plus it gives a few more days to work on my shin.

| Third and final day of the apple cleanse. Stiffness in my back is gone, but my neck and foot are getting a little more stiff due to NSAID wearing off. Similar results to when I tried this in June; my back gets better, but other parts stay the same. So far I've eaten 26 apples and counting. And lots of water. :-) Day 2 is the worst, but either way I can't wait for real food again.

AM - ran the dog around the block noon - ran the Landfill Loop, averaged 6:57/mile. Everything felt really good. Still some swelling in my shin, but no pain. I have a feeling that my shin will be like my foot, and will just been swollen for the next year or so for no good reason other than arthritis. I'm glad to be done with the apple fast. The way to finish off an apple fast is to drink several ounces of olive oil on the last night. It's absolutely disgusting, and made me lose sleep from feeling sick to my stomach. But I felt pretty darn good this morning; back pain to a 0 and neck pain/stiffness to about a 2, pretty good for not taking any meds since Saturday.

| Ran with Joe and Jon on the River Trail to Guineva Malibu Campground and back. Very nice fall morning. My foot really hurt today, and my back was stiff, mostly because I haven't taken any meloxicam in 7 days (new PR). Took one this morning though. My shin is still swollen, but does not hurt. I guess it's normal training until it tells me to do other wise. |
