Finally! Four days after Provincials, and my body finally works again this morning! Walking is no longer a chore! The pain has subsided to normal levels! I still feel a little dehydrated, but I've been that way for a couple of weeks. So, physically, I'm back to normal. Hallelujah!

Of course, now I want to start going to the gym (finally!), so watch for half-serious moanings and complainings about the frailty of my body. Despite being an active fencer for six years, despite losing 60 pounds, I'm still woefully out of shape. No cardiovascular strength to speak of. My left leg is more flexible than my right. And I'm sure some of the pain is due to unbalanced muscle development brought on by fencing. So, time to do something about it.
