door #2- one to say yes, two to say no. imagine lowering your chest to your knees, not your head. once you have decided on a sport, picked a team or an individual athlete it is time to place your bet. there is no one-size-fits-all approach. hundreds of running shoes hitting pavement did their rubbery shuffle as the athletes moved out. you just need to be patient and take baby steps towards checking once a day, and then twice, and so on. i can now stand for long periods of time and i’m just glad to have my “normal” life back.
