Benefits of Not Running. (Maybe We All Need some Mysoitis Ossificans in Our Lives)
I have run 2 miles in 2015. This was over a span of 2 days, not in succession, and they were slow and easy ones.
Not running has its benefits.
*I have more time on my hand (but accomplish less)
*When I get sick, I don't get sick for as long (but I feel sicker in the head)
*I don't get the major munchies (but I eat more because I am depressed)
*I do much more upper body weights (I pick things up and put them down)
* I save so much money on race fees (which I waste on Chip Ahoys)
*I can get a cardio workout just by taking the stairs (going to the top of a tall building with plans to jump off)
Recently I received some PT, which did some good but also revealed to me the evils of the medical world (charges pending) and I think I once again have another diagnosis. Mysoitis Ossificans, which isn't just scar tissue, it is bone growing into your muscle due to an injury
Myositis ossificans is a rare condition which can occur after the patient has suffered a muscle injury. Returning too soon to training after injury is often a cause. Abnormal bone development occurs where the deep tissue injury has created a hematoma. The patient will experience pain and bruising, and this may cause the development of abnormal bone within the muscle. The muscles get inflamed and the bone formation occurs. When the bones start to form inside the muscle tissue, the patient will require suitable treatment.
Treatment is hit or miss, may require surgery, but does not have a very high success rate. Jumping off a building does. But first, pass the Chip Ahoys. I want to be nice and fat for the splat.

While I like(d) your post, at the same time I think to like what you are saying here is not the appropriate reaction. I hope everything turns out not to be as bad as you describe - wish you the best.

I always expected my running life to slowly, over a couple decades, fade to black, not something so quickly. Still have hope. And cookies.

Best of luck to you Mark :D

That sounds way more desperate than I really feel.
