Fourth day off of running. How many to go?
4.1 miles of walking in the AM with TZ and the dog. These are good. The walk is a backdrop to good conversations.
I can feel the crap still in the knee. Not that I am expecting it to be magically better in four days, especially since I haven't done anything to address that. It is just a note that I can feel its problems, coming down stairs, when I turn weird, or sometimes when I stand up.
The time off from running is easy physically. It is more the mental challenge of not having that time to do that and figuring out what I want to do alternatively. This is a good challenge - recognizing how habitual I have been with good and bad behaviors (running, alcohol, not reading items outside of work, etc.). But I do need to establish some other routine ... otherwise I will do nothing and that seems wasteful.
Broke away from the desk twice mid day for two ten minute sessions. Sigh - I recognize that sounds so light. It is. But it is where I am at. Got in a handful of kettlebell exercises, including upper body and squats, and the experiment of 100 pushups lives on (30, 30, 25, 25).
Separately, started watching Breaking Bad about a half decade after everyone else, started reading Red Rising on request of JZ, and have been trying to figure out the differences between diminished, half diminished, minor flat 5 and minor 7 flat 5 chords.
