Naproxen really is my new best friend providing it keeps the pain at bay today so I can get another 5.5 miles in. All I hope is for improvement! I have taken it for a couple of days and used the heating pad! I can move and get up and down without as much of a sharp pain so I'm gonna try my run this morning. I can still get most of my weekly miles in if I can do another 5.5 and then the 11 or so on Friday.
It's very frustrating to not be able to do what you want to do. Or to sort of be able to do it only with sharp pain! sheesh! I like the wisdom that I at least think I have gained from getting older, but my body is giving me fits! So I guess no matter what stage we are in life there are advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn't want to trade what little wisdom I've accrued for the agility I had in my youth! lol!
One of our family Thanksgiving traditions used to be that my brother and I would take on all the teen agers in football. We had played together for hours and hours when we were growing up and could read each other perfectly. We did have to make some minor adjustments because of our changes in speed though!
We won every year. The closest year the kids got to beating us we were playing our three boys and they were in their mid to upper teens. We barely eeked out a win that year! But my son made a statement that I still use a lot. As we ended the game with a win he walked up to his uncle and me and said, I guess wisdom beats youth! I loved that statement almost as much as the win itself! lol!
So wisdom which is more precious that gold according to scriptures is something we should try to abide by. Proverbs tells us to search for it with all diligence...until we find it; then embrace it and live by it! Today while I am running I will be thinking about the pricelessness of wisdom...and praying that I can learn to live by the voice of wisdom found in scriptures.
