#parkrun today. I am volunteering as the timer. Seventh volunteer credit, first as a timer. I look forward to the day when I can run again. Until then, I will volunteer to support this great event.

I’m any event, I am hoping to resume posting positive posts about my workouts and training in 2024 as I approach 60 (Jan 2025). For now, I continue to deal with an unexpected detour.
As my friend told me this week, growing old is not for the timid. I do not plan to be a shrinking violet. Rather I hope to break through these struggles and get back on my fitness path.
It is frustrating to me… I have worked so hard to transform my body and I had (have) a lot of ambitious plans to continue to improve my health and fitness. In the interim, I have found that I have a mass on my thyroid, which I hope is benign. I am working on that too and due to incompetence by my former doctor, I have allowed this to remain unaddressed for an extra month.
I am not messing around anymore — I have an appointment at Mayo to deal with this.
I was sitting on 24 parkruns and I desperately wanted that 25th #parkrun. I walked the 25th and two more. I am now volunteering until my situation can be resolved. I have encountered the American health care system, which can be a nightmare. At long last, I have, I think, a root cause of my pain and a treatment plan in place. I am hoping to avoid surgery but we will see.
I have a pinched nerve that is age related and unrelated to my exercising and workouts.
I have been radio silent for about six weeks or so on here. I had chosen my fitness journey #fitby60 as my primary content here and I’ve hit a major snag. On August 20th, I began to have back pain. It started out as a minor issue but it quickly became a major problem. Within a couple of days, I was in so much pain that I could barely sleep at night and exercise was out of the question. For the last 50 nights or so I have struggled with at first no more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night.
I’ll take Paul Lynde to block
I reached a bittersweet milestone today at #parkrun. It was my 25th, all since 12/31/22. However, because of an irritated nerve in my neck, I couldn’t run and I walked instead. Oh well. The important thing with parkrun is getting out there and doing it. And I did it. #parkrun25

Ken, a regular parkrunner at Hamlet Park parkrun*, recounts his story of how parkrun helped him recover from a series of atrial fibrillation events. Realizing he needed to make lifestyle changes, he attended parkrun and gradually incorporated running into his routine. He found his health improved and formed meaningful connections in his community. *Before we...
@bomkatt I was really sweating. I think I can keep up, it’s just that I have no idea what I am doing.
