Read moreWell, I’ve been being sensible. The leg is much better, though I can’t bend it behind me more than a 90 degree bend without pain. So I am taking short walks and gently stretching it. Roller Derby is out for Monday, but I might try a short and slow...
Read moreYeah, yeah. I imagine you all waiting around with baited breath to hear how long a plank I did today and how much I smell of deep heat. The answers. 80 seconds and a lot. I can walk without limping today, which is progress, but can’t bend my leg...
Read moreLeg still hurts. I still smell of Deep Heat. Today I did another cheats exercise of a minutes plank, a handful of press ups, and the increased effort it takes me to drag myself across the room with a leg that doesn’t bend. I have been resting and elevating...
Read moreSo, my leg is still very sore. I am Limpy Von Limperson, Sheriff of Limpytown. I decided to give swimming a go at the hotel tonight anyway as I really could do with some exercise, especially as I am now doing my usual sulky eating thing that I do...

I did a plank for a minute and a handful of press ups. So that’s *some* exercise and technically within the Juneathon rules, but it’s cheating really. And even that made my leg hurt. I didn’t get sweaty, I didn’t burn any calories and I didn’t really challenge myself. My feet look like this...
