I did it!!!! I won one for the team!!!
I had to take a treadmill stress test as part of an annual physical for my job. The doctor showed me into the testing room and told me about the test. I said “Doc is there any chance I can run this barefoot”? He said no of course.
I explained that I never run in shoes and didn’t feel safe being forced to do it now. I said “How would it look to the county if I got hurt doing this test because I was forced to run in a manner that is unnatural to me”?
He got a funny look on his face, like your dog does when he’s thinking. He finally just shrugged his shoulders and let me do it.
Small victories…… Take em where you can get em.
