Today I walk the entire perimeter of Lake Fayetteville, though my watch did not record the full distance. In the Medical Department, I receive the lab report from the podiatrist which was good news. I will keep an eye on the situation though, in case the problem returns. I have been working out in the gym, twice this week, but I also sustained a “micro-injury” while attempting a squat for the first time, probably, since I was in high school. It was the same knee that had me out for six weeks last winter. The neurosurgeon recommended yoga, and I plan to take his advice, but I will start out slow in a beginner’s class. My weight is fluctuating within a range of about ten or eleven pounds.

I’ve been reading about bulking and cutting, the idea that it is better to build muscle and fat, then cut muscle and fat. The muscle builds slower, but also burns slower.

It’s an important day in Running: A Fever history. I thank you for supporting me and joining me in this journey.
