So it hurts a little .. go or stay home?

Read a book titled The Long Run about Matt Long, a former firefighter from New York. He survived 9/11.  Would you believe me if I told you that was the easy part? A couple of years later he was run over by a charter bus while riding his bicycle to work during a transit strike in New York City. The bike he was riding was embedded in him under the bus.

My heel hurts. While I do not advocate ignoring pain, I do advise against wimping out. Though I have a heel spur, the podiatrists I visited didn't appear concerned. One told me that most people have a heel spur and that it is nothing to be concerned about, the pain I was felling was actually plantar faciitis. My heel hurts all the time, still I wonder. After all they practice medicine, they don't play.

Today a trial of riding a stationary bike, lifting and running today. Overall a pretty good workout.

These past couple of nights I have slept better than I have in a while. Good.
My concern is getting the stomach acid in check, I know that as the fat around my mid-section increases my gastric distress increases. Hoping this doesn't last much longer.
