I’ve run through stress fractures, heart procedures, flus and other physical ailments.
A rather cool data project, but the above sentence completely sours my enjoyment of the article. Please do not do such boneheadedly stupid thing like this just to chase metrics and/or internet points.
If you’re ever wondering whether your internet presence makes a change: I was on the fence about going on a run today because I’m having mild knee pain, and you helped me decide against it. It’s not worth it.
Nice. When I get knee pain (hasn’t happened for several years now, knocks on wood), I usually go for a walk instead of a run, and see how the knee feels. Sometimes it’s nothing, sometimes it’s obvious that the knee needs some rest or a doctor visit.
I ended up swimming laps instead! I do walk about 5k a weekday anyway. It can be so hard to gauge what is and isn’t bad enough to warrant rest or medical attention.
Eh. Why not? If that’s what this person wants to do… Who are any of us to tell them what to do?
Of course, I’m not their mom. It’s just not a smart thing to do if you value your health.
I think this is so motivational. To me, it’s swimming, but these kinds of things are maybe the drop that someone needs to do the jump. Congratulations on the 10 years and what an amazing web!!
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Here’s to another 10 years!Lovely idea and excellent execution!
I know you didn’t ask for it, but a toggle to metric units would be great.
Insane, how you never got injured
