Sometimes I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something, and that running is just never gonna happen for me.

nothing wrong with needing to embrace something like that and finding alternative or continuing with existing exercises that favor what your body is telling you is better for you at the moment. Catrin and Pax both inspire me in the way they embrace the awareness of what their bodies are going through. What's health care like for you in your area of Mexico?

Quite good, supposedly, but not so sure about sports specialists. I have only heard of "regular" docs and feel very comfortable if I were to get Dengue Fever or any other tropical thing, I'd be in good hands. But something like this I wouldn't bother with going to the doc even in the US. Just me, maybe, but I've had such limited success with PT and ortho docs in the past in the US that self care at home always seems to be a less expensive and simpler alternative. I know there are cases when these docs are really necessary, though. But I'd really need a running specialist/gait analysis or some such and don't think there's anyone like that here. This is more like the US in the 1950s in a lot of ways. Some good, some bad!
