My Feet Hurt! Doesn't matter what day, for some reason the outside left foot hurts a lot. Not affecting my running gate, not affecting the speed at which I run, in fact they hurt less with the mindfulness of steps, but they still hurt. I've wondered if it is callouses or build up, the streets that have a strange camber to them. I consider all of these things.
What would Ajahn Chah say? I know what he would say, "this is uncertain" this is not permanent" "this is impermanent" this arises and it ceases. I fully agree, it always goes away, but sometimes it carries on for hours afterwards. If there was a self, I could control this problem, no self, no control of the problem, more proof of the doctrine of no self. "The sensory experiences we like and dislike are equal." I think they means they are equally impermanent.
12k this morning, cloudy and windy. Very tired legs I think. Mindful of the steps, but a monkey mind nonetheless. I was actually surprised at not being overly tired during the run. I was afterward. I even took a 30 minute nap before I went to work.
I am perseverating on the feet. They are...all that arises ceases.
