Notes
O.K I am now learning to live with Compartment Syndrome. It almost feels like siding with the Enemy. It gives me pain/tightness/pressure on both lower legs and then lets me go. It feels like I am, for some reason, tested for the first miles so to prove the point that I make the commitment and I will not quit. Then soul and heart win and the body just follows in bliss without pain. CS is so peculiar condition indeed. Psychologically it is like figthing the enemy within. So, here I am coming to terms with it more and more. I am now learning how to manipulate my body and be kind to start with and then body allows me to do what I really want to. Tonight at some point I had a tough time and then I thought of Kiriakidis and his bleeding feet when running the Boston Marathon a few years before he won the race and I thougth if he could it with bleeding feet then I can do everything. It was an amazing feeling and the pain off it went. Overall it was a good run and I take nothing for granted .. I feel so lucky and still cannot believe how I managed to cope at the Athens Marathon. This was a miracle long moment with me indeed that I will always treasure.
