Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I had to go see a doctor at lunchtime Tuesday, which meant extra subway stairs and walking. (A couple of months ago, I'd have spent more time, and taken a bus, or more money for a taxi.) Yesterday my knee felt, a little, as though I might have overdone it. Three miles or so total walking (a usual workday is 1.5-2 if I don't go a significant distance at lunchtime), and about 20 flights of stairs, which is a lot for me these days. (cattitude pointed out that 20 flights of stairs is a lot for most people.) A month ago I probably wouldn't have tried it, but the knees have improved greatly.

I mentioned this to Emilie, along with telling her that I wanted to be careful of my calves because I woke at 4:30 this morning with a charley horse and the muscle still felt tight. (State of joints and muscles is relevant, of course.) Near the end of our session, she told me that I had made her day by telling her that I had done that much walking, including that many stairs, and it was "may have overdone it" rather than really problematic. Overall, it was a cheerful and I think productive hour.
