Look after yourself AbdullahD and push yourself, but stay within the limits of health.
I had a cold that developed into bronchitis, but I still did hard workouts--and it turned into walking pneumonia because I was pushing my lungs too hard. Avoid that stress fracture by giving yourself time to heal
. Work on resistance training or weights to keep you in shape

I hope you get better and look forward to serving with you in the future. I enjoy reading your posts!
Take care,

Thanks for the kind words. I hope one day, we can meet each other, in uniform.
This is a continuation of my last post; I have been having pain or more correctly aches in my knee, which got to the point of me wishing to see a doctor. So I booked an appointment for earlier today and coincidentally my orthodics arrived before the appointment so I put them in.
When I got to the Doctor, which happens to be a husband and wife team, who have been looking after me since I was a kid. The wife who was seeing me that day, did a double take on me. I told her I had been going to the gym etc, told her my pain and what triggers it etc, she examined me and gave me good news that it was nothing serious just a combination of my flat feet and Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
I showed her my orthodics and she was suprised at how 'hard' they were and asked who did it, happily that podiatrist checked out in her opinion. But she put me on a 30 day program to fix me Patellofemoral Pain issue and she said after that I can ease into running
and nothing was functionally wrong with my legs or knees and this is kind of expected from those who don't do anything and then start excersizing. So I shouldn't worry, which makes me happy.
The real kicker is the Doc knows me, my wife, my family etc.. and I told her what I have been doing at the gym and how far I have came and how genuinely happy she was meant a lot to me. She was darn proud of me and said I am looking good. Then we had a very brief talk about people who come to her and do not take her advice or recommendations, she was positively happy I did. Yet, this made me slightly sad for all the medical staff out there, who have to watch people kill themselves and can't do anything.
Any rate, I am still chugging along. I am in it for the Marathon not a sprint
