Just run



Never mind if your shoes are quite old.
Never mind if your shorts and shirt are a bit faded.
Never mind if you don't have GPS.
The old chronograph still works and it's just fine.

Just run,
chasing the dream of a faster time.
It is what really matters.
It is what really counts.

Thanks for the concern, Wayne. The foot is better now but not I'm not forcing it. I'm making do with some cycling. Hopefully I could run again in a day or two. That sort of puts back some racing plans though. I'm now doubtful about making that marathon in March. Well, things happen.
