I’ve been waiting for a whole week to blog as I have a couple of big things to write about today. First, the reason I have waited a week. If you have been following me over the last six months or so I have been dealing with the “hole” on the bottom of my foot. It is in a spot seems to cause it not to heal properly when I am doing my workouts because it is right on the ball of my foot and it seems to be the place that most of the pressure goes. It has healed over and over over these months but it has always left extra skin that would somehow tear the wound open again (I know, gross). This would always cause me to miss a couple of days in the past, then when I could get back on it I would. I dealt with this annoyance because I didn’t want to stop my routine for too long. This, I believe, is the reason is why it never healed properly. Well over the last week I have stayed off of it as much as possible, I took care of it with the only real pressure on it being normal everyday walking, no running , or any pressure on it from resistance training, nothing. I tested it out a bit this morning and I think it has finally healed properly. It isn’t at 100% but I would say at about 92.7%. It was a long week without doing anything and staying away from the blog but I felt it was necessary. I would rather lose a week now than have another six months dealing with the aggravation and who can say that it won’t get really bad after a while so I am glad I am (hopefully) turning this page.
Now for some other life changing news. As some of you may know my company made the decision to exit the business in the city I live in. On the day of the news I wasn’t so sure as to what I would do. Since that time things have worked out in my favor as I have been given the opportunity to take a position at the office where our business will be migrating. This is great news as it gives me the opportunity to continue my employment with a great company. The big news is that the business is migrating to Phoenix, AZ. It’s an exciting time but also a little sad for me as I will be without my family for a little while when I am out there. I guess I can say thank goodness for web cams as I am going to be extremely familiar with them in a little while. This move also changes my race schedule. I had been doing my research on some races to replace the few I would miss out on in this area so all should go well and I will be updating that information shortly. I have never been as far west as I am about to be in the next six weeks so it’ll be quite a change. Hopefully the desert will be as kind to me as the frozen tundra has been over the last eight years.
