meh, worst case scenario, we die.
I'm really glad I'm still in school, because that takes my attention away long enough to not be slowly going insane. Copious amounts of alcohol help too.

On a side note, anybody got any tips for foot pain from running? I’ve been experimenting with different shoes/insoles and the pain has ebbed and flowed. Hoping to find the right combination at some point. Hoping to go to OCS pain free but prepared to gut it out if necessary.

When I was having that problem I did 3 things and one of them ended up fixing it, not sure which though. I googled foot stretches and did them a few times a day (don't do them anymore and no pain still). I made sure I was consistently running 4-5 days a week, and I also went to an actual running store to get fitted for shoes. If you haven't done that and actually had one or their staff watch you run so that they know what kind of stride you have, I really recommend it. Used to get shin splints constantly as well and this stopped those too.

On a serious note @Fteeter getting proper footwear actually does wonders. Go to a legitimate running store and get fitted not some Nike outlet store.
