Cleverness that doesn't get shared
Oct. 26th, 2015 04:47 pmI regularly notice things either en route to work, or in my day, that are terribly witty and worth sharing.
But I don't seem to get the time to put them in writing.
Real-world recap:
I really enjoyed hearing the Canadian election outcome, though felt sorry for NDP which now has a few years of rebuilding to do.
It's been a pretty good fall in London for weather and fall colours; reasonably dry for most of September and October, which meant I've done more running than before.
I've been diligently getting out at lunch hours, and alternating w/ lunch hours in the gym, doing both physio-recommended stretches and some strength moves.
As a partial result of running, I now have my R foot strapped up, to manage plantar fasciitis. Have to freeze a bottle of water to roll under my foot this evening. Oooops.
Apparently ignoring the dull ache in your foot til it becomes a sharp pain in your foot is not the appropriate response.
Still going to physio regularly to try to manage lower back pain. I can feel that I've gained more mobility in my lower back and pelvis, and I walk more carefully and consciously than before.
Weekends where I'm wearing flat medieval shoes on hard surfaces really show themselves up at the physio.
I'm already on 2 weeks sabbatical from running, to see if I can shake the referred pain down 1 leg. So this week I'm walking not running at lunch. Fortunately the break coincides with weekends away when I couldn't get to a parkrun anyway.
It's halfterm in London so the constant commuting pressure eases off by about 20% as all the parents take time out while their kids get a week off. I treasure this week for travel, but you're always covering for someone in the office who's away this week.
Next week I hope to take 1 day off, to see the current Celts exhibit at the British Museum.
