Yesterday I went for a walk at lunchtime. It was the first time since the injury. Slow walk, all in all around 5km, my leg was very tired but not in pain. I had some unease around the knee while lying in bed hours later but that’s it. It’s a good sign, I think. I’ll try again next week, depending on the weather. ---

I finally have an appointment for an MRI. However, the doctor had on his desk a printed sheet with written on it “running is the worst way of staying in shape”. But I don’t do it to stay in shape, I do it for stress relief and fun, so I’m safe 😛 He also had a “most interesting man in the world” meme printed on another sheet, but I couldn’t read it. ---

> [@Guga](#): > > However, the doctor had on his desk a printed sheet with written on it “running is the worst way of staying in shape”. IMHO it’s far, far worse for “ **getting** in shape”: Overweight, no muscles and joints not ready for all the stress… sounds bad. Now thinking about it: Maybe it’s just the translation. Or maybe “staying in shape” is just a nicer way (i.e. self-deception) of saying “getting in shape”? ---
