Not too Fast or Too Slow

Yesterday I had to drive back into Saskatoon as I had and appointment and some things which needed to be processed.  I am so akin to Saskatoon with really knowing it by way of people and by way of areas which I have been too and met people by way of all the photographs which I have taken. 

It was different as I now know how serene a town is in comparison to Saskatoon which recently within the news within 30 years if not earlier it shall grow from 250,000 thousand people to half a million.  This doctor is one of a kind.  He literally went the extra distance in setting up so many things.  I just wished to get in there and back out.  All forms for the duration of this respite and pause period are now set up and I even went to my folks and told them everything was great.  I don’t wish for them to worry about me.  Especially my mother whom certainly does have her hands full and I hope that she gets better as she has been taking care of all matters and she is overloading herself.  I so know this and I called while on the highway my brother and left him a message as to where I am and the telephone number.  By the time everything was done with my doctor whom is a general practitioner whom teaches at the University as well.  He was surprised after all the forms were filled out at how well and how at ease I am with things.  I guess everyone was right as I did have too much going on and my doc said that what I have put into place is tremendous.  I explained to him of my goal structure and how far I had come.  He was impressed and he is not one of those “in the door out the door” kind of practioners.  I think that as his father was in the medical area he went the same route.

By the time I arrived home here within this town.  I was tired and I knew that the State of the Union was on last night.  I wished to watch it and near the end I just headed off to bed.  As when you get back with it and my intention was never to be idle but to take on a pause time and still have a routine.  Thankfully the pain of last night went away.  Within the body our muscles tear when we train and then they rebuild better.  It’s much like when a bone is broken, after it heals – the bone itself heals and the bone is actually stronger than before.  This morning I raised the level of my running to a little longer stride.  Well it’s not a push it’s a mindset – as this is my work and it may come across as being lazy but I don’t place too many things off.  So far so good.  Today I exercised all in all a total of nearly 4 hours, then this evening I will go into half an hour of stretching. So the structure or routine is there and by the end of the week I will do finish off this part of my outdoors training and then raise the bar.  I have a nursing friend which runs and even if she had not wagered a bet on if I could achieve this I know I would.

Outside of this I have to ROLF set up a new banking account here, make seven calls between today and tomorrow.  So I will throw in my own diary within this now and then but every day is like the other within a small town unless you make it different.  Yet believe it or not I feel more at home here.

The above picture is that of my doctor and he was educated in medicine at Queens University.  With all that I am doing I will as well have some massage therapy set up and by the time all the contacts are made by Thursday I shall have my choice of a few physical therapy clinics for work on my legs in addition to my training.  

I’m goin not too fast or too slow.
