    If you didn't run today, what DID you do?

    Didn't run today 'cause I got done with work at 7pm. After a day of harvesting rutabagas and parsnips, and planting blackberries, currants, and raspberries, I was a bit tired and rather hungry.

Just this December I started to get an occasional sharp pain in the arch of my left food. It started when I was running fast down a...
