And no, it’s not because I wear “sky-high heels all day”…  Which would look pretty funny with my usual outfit of fairly unwashed (aren’t you lucky that none of you live close to me) and therefore comfy jeans, some sort of t-shirt (some are dressyish, I swear I’m getting better) and, since its winter, a sweatshirt.  I can’t really fathom doing to yourself what feudal societies did to their women so they couldn’t run away, but that’s a topic for another post.

Anyway, I ran yesterday and did the set of stretches I can remember from the various sports I’ve played in the past, but my calves still feel like they are being grabbed and twisted.  A slight exaggeration, I suppose, but still.  I’m looking into how I’m really supposed to stretch to address said issue that makes me walk like an idiot for the first minute or two after I get up from sitting, and I’m going to assume that my body will stop rebelling at some point and accept the fact that I’m going to use it on a daily basis. This site seems pretty useful, plus I’m starting to stretch before bed in an effort to fight this wonderful insomnia I’ve developed (yes, I blame grad school…).  Oh, and that move at 1:30, I seriously can’t even start to do.  Yes, it’s sad, but I’m working on it.

That’s about all I’ve got for now, other than that it’s seriously dumb out (i.e. cold, cloudy, and snowing again).  So in order to pretend I’m not in Indiana, I’m going to need some help.  Sing it, Wolverine.
