Sporadically speaking

I may have some kind of trapped nerve in my left foot. It's enough that the doctor has forbid me from running for two weeks. I'm also not allowed to use my fitness step or do the kind of hamstring yoga I normally would.

I have a race in a week. Or at least  a walk now.

Yesterday, I woke up because my hips were hurting. Today it was my backside. My first New Year's resolution is going to have to be to stop doing whatever it is that I'm doing that keeps giving me porno injuries. At least it's probably better than the time I turned over in bed and almost dislocated my shoulder.

I seem to have damaged my left shoulder, possibly on the 80 mile roundtrip I did on Thursday. My wrist is aching as well, which doesn't bode well, and I've started to feel things clicking in my upper arm and across my chest, where the shoulder muscles connect. I'm sure I read a fanfic like this once. So where's that shoulder massage and blowjob from my First Officer then?

My health hasn't been the best over the last two weeks due, mostly, to unavoidable work issues. But what I can take away from the experience is that my feet are a rather accurate measure of my health. On the days when my old basketball injury hurts so much that I can only limp about with an ankle support on: I know that I'm not going anywhere and will have to bow out of everything scheduled and spend the day resting. If the top of my feet, the mid-foot region, starts aching then I know that I really need to slow down or the next stage will be the sort of ankle pains that stop me walking. The earliest warning simply being the bottom of my feet feeling too hot when I'm barefoot. Now that I've made the mental connection I can keep a better eye out for future complications in that regard. My feet seem to be affected long before blood pressure or wrist pains come into play. Though another useful indicator appears to be whether the tattoo on my back aches or if the one on my shoulder feels raised.
