Balboa again – not the biggest aerobic challenge, but good for the posture, etc etc.
Left me feeling a bit achey in the joints, though.

More balboa. The achiness isn’t too bad, but I chose not to do the workshops the next day, just in case.
Went to podiatrist and got exercises for my knees. Nothing dire and knee problems will be fixed by hardcore strength training. No running for 4 weeks, or until my knees are stronger.
We’ll see.

The slowest, nicest ride around the bay and down the canals. Just for fun, because the weather is glorious. And because my knees are sore and couldn’t take a serious ride, a run or more walking.

Obviously not dancing every single one of those hours, but plenty of dancing. Ended up with really sore knees. The following Friday I was still feeling pretty fatigued. I’m pretty fit these days, but this much dancing and so little sleep left a mark.

Just some walking about to get places. Still working out the post-exchange kinks. Knees still quite sore.

A quick walk to help loosen out my dance-scrunched muscles. Knees and hips are complaining.

Had some foot pain that made me walk a minute in the middle. I think I need to backtrack into the c25k and start building up slowly and regularly again. I don’t have the fitness I want, and I seem to have having too much foot pain. Still haven’t gone to the podiatrist, though, so it could be my orthotics…

Fun.
