Day 4

The morning was lovely and began with a nice walk.

The middle of the day was taken up with work.

As per usual, a crash came this afternoon. I could not get myself to do the next day of Tank’s training, even though I knew I should. Instead, after scolding myself adequately to spur activity, I did half an hour of core and leg exercises that I got from physical therapy.

No, I didn’t get any sort of cool injury to require PT. I got a middle-aged bookworm’s injury: my hip decided that it hated the chairs at a conference I attended that it no longer wanted to function properly. Walking was fine. Trying to step up even one stair and my right leg would try and collapse from the hip.

I did feel mentally better after my PT session today, although I was so physically wobbly I had to sit down for a while before I trusted my legs enough to take a shower.

Not a bad day in the end, though not “on plan.”
