I guess I’m becoming more in-shape. At least my stamina is improving. I’m doing 4.5 miles around a lake whenever possible, up to several times a week. At first I was just walking it, but the last couple of times I have been running for portions of the circuit. At some point I’d like to be perfectly fine with running the whole thing. It used to be that when I would run, my joints and muscles would complain, during and especially afterwards. Now, while I still feel a bit of complaining a day or two after I run, I’m not feeling joint and muscle pain during the run itself, so I’m able to run farther. Now my breathing seems to be my limiting factor. I stop running when I seem to be breathing too hard. At some point I expect that to mellow out some more, and that’ll probably be the point that I can run the whole circuit.
This morning I tried to pick up that turtle shell I found last week, but it fell apart when I picked it up, apparently it had become weak from soaking in the lake.
This morning I saw two women on the path, one of them was wearing a stocking on her right leg, I could see the seam going up the back of her leg. I wonder if that lends itself to support in the same way that a knee wrap would.
