Yesterday I started having unexplained back pain right around in the middle of my back. I think it had to do with carrying my backpack, but I'm not sure.
Today, on the other hand, I walked almost 1.75 miles in the city. The weather outside was beautiful, rather warm, and so I decided to walk from school to the subway rather than taking the Green Line. Because the Green Line sucks, and I'd rather walk for half an hour than sit on that stupid train on a beautiful day. The seam near the arch of my left foot started to rub funny after I was walking for a while, which was a little bit annoying, but I managed to fix it temporarily by tightening the strap over the top of my foot. We will see if it continues to be a problem. Fortunately after all that walking, the only pain I had was strangely on both of my big toes and no pain at all in the normal spot that my foot bothers me. This is definitely a good sign, because walking that far never caused me pain before, and the fact that I can now do it near-barefoot is excellent. I was happy to take the VFFs off when I got home though, and let my feet truly be free. I did a quick run from the subway stop to my house, which was about 0.1 miles. A nice way to end the day. I pretty much sat around for the rest of the evening, but my feet feel great.
I also have been trying to work squatting (step 1b of the "program") in to my every day routine but for most purposes it just puts you too low to the ground. I did spend some time squatting yesterday while J and I were at the aquarium store, so I could comfortably watch the fish in the tanks on the ground level. Other than that though, I haven't really found a good time to do it.
