Ran for the first time in over a month. (Foot pain had me limping. No idea what I did).
Foot was pinging the whole time and has been aching since, but I managed it. Whatever it is, it'll heal. My foot needs to stop bitching.
I have never seen this thread!
Every morning I wake up at 5:02 am. I am a bit of a prime number, kinda guy.
5 is prime
2 is prime
add 5 with 2 and 7 is a prime
subtract 2 from 5 and 3 is a prime
THEN... I walk aggressively for about an hour around the village... we have only four streets so I see the same people every morning that are dedicated like I am.
Then... I finish close to my house where there is a hill that takes about 23 seconds to run/sprint up. I run that hill at least 7 times. Again... Primes.. I am 48 (not a prime so I can't wait for next year when 13 is a prime) ... so maybe it took less when I was younger but I was a state level (CA) track runner in high school so I do pretty damn good at my age. I then walk home and do another 30 minutes of light weights, easy push-ups, crunches and up/downs... all in all a little less than two hours and then I head off to work.

Im almost back to my 3 mile run shape on my treadmill. Took me 35 minutes, but hey, its progress. Im afraid to go swimming since it might clog my sinuses and leave me vulnerable to the virus... or is this just silly paranoia?
LOL @ the prime numbers thing. Do you do that entire work out every day?
Yes, unless it is raining pretty hard, I am playing tennis later that day or like today, on the first hill it felt like I tweaked something in my ankle/Achilles... so I just walked for another 45 minutes or so.
I am going to add some weights and up/downs (Burpee's)?
Oh bummer for you too. Hope that won't be a problem for you.
Yep. My sons played ball, so I'm way familiar with Burpee's. LOL *complain, complain, complain* LOL
Is your foot doing any better? I hope it is. Injuries suck!
Wow! I know you're in the service, but, wow!
I'm on a good powerlifting plan. (Boring But Big 3-Month Challenge | T Nation) Started out on a 5x5 and went to a Boring But Big. I may purchase the book 5-3-1 Forever so I can keep lifting heavy. I've gained like 25 lbs since I've been in Korea and am finally the weight I want to be: a clean 200!
I normally wake up at 4:53 am and then walk about 5k's in the morning and then run ten hills each about 200 meters long (sprint - 48 years old ex track runner so not bad but probably still kinda pathetic.) I hurt my foot a few days ago so instead of the running I do the walk and then bike about 5k's trying to sprint the hills on my course. It sucks. Hurting my foot was terrible but it should be better in the next few weeks.
Take it easy so the foot heals!
I have been... just walking and then come home to bike. I learned to let things heal finally, after about 45 years a few years ago. Tired of chronic injuries... even though it is inevitable now with all of my past injuries...I don't need any more. What do you do for exercise in today's lock down day and age?
Yeah, age has a way of making ya slow down and respect your body a bit more.
Running. On the tread, using a bowflex now and again and walking my dogs, while social distancing.I've been increasing the run to 3 1/2 miles with more regularity. Or going for 40 minutes. Feels really good.

Not me... I get more aggressive as I get older....!!!!!
Just joking... I have to look at my feet as I go quickly down stairs now.... and think about making a jump over a small stream, thinking, can I make this? makes me sad...
I hear ya. I think part of it, for me, is the realization of the consequences if you miss. After watching my elders biff it and get injured, I take being careful more seriously. It's not fun. Wrecks spontaneity and my need to want to move quickly. LOL

I had that problem for a couple months at least. It was on the top of my foot, on the top of the arch...about an inch from the ankle. No idea what I did, but it had me limping around for a couple weeks, then wincing for six more.
I'm still stupid about it. If I can work through it, I work through it. I only lay off if it feels like I'm inviting further, more serious injury.
Apart from the limping period, I was running/lifting on the hurt foot. It went away eventually. Might not have been wise (ie, if it was a precursor to stress fracture. Fortunately it wasn't)
