c25k: Day off

Today is a day off from the c25k, so I did 20 sit-ups this morning instead, which gave me a chance to really look at my legs. My left calf is still noticeably smaller than the right. It’s been 2 whole years now since I broke that foot! I’m amazed there’s still a difference. Half-tempted to dig out my old aircast and wear it on my right leg to even them out, but really I’d rather shoot myself. I guess I’ll just stay lopsided, and probably no one will notice but me.

Speaking of my broken foot, it did give me a few little twinges, last night as I was falling asleep. But that is it, thankfully!

I’m just doing the math in my head now… The back/shoulder chronic pain started fall of 2009 (I got a few twinges in my shoulder yesterday during my run, actually) but currently seems to be manageable with fish oil supplements. Then in the winter of 2009/2010 was the horrible time, when I got less than zero exercise and ate a terrible diet and put on a ton of weight. Then in spring of 2010 I ran a 5k and was slightly killed by hills, and then had all of the breathing tests done and the puffers and whatnot. And september of 2010 I broke my foot and got my braces.

Still climbing back from all of that. But slowly, slowly!
