I've been getting stronger again all of a sudden, so that's pretty cool! I was on a plateau for a long time, but the amount I can deadlift is going up, and it's at like 185 now. (For reference, I weigh like 130.) That's for one ten-rep set, and then I have to take some off if I want to continue.

And my ingenious plan to do a stupid amount of pull-ups is proceeding apace, too. I'm at like 15 or 18 if I'm not being sloppy with my form; unfortunately I've always been pretty sloppy with my form, so doing it right feels completely annoying.

Anyway, that makes me happy. The end!

roadrunnertwice: Wrecked bicyclist. Dialogue: "I am fucking broken." (Bike - Fucking broken (Never as Bad))
Two days ago, I managed to run on the treadmill for something like a third of a lousy mile before the pain in my injured foot got to be too much and I had to slow to a walk. But forcing the issue like that seems to have actually helped, because I was walking more normally the next day, and today I took it to two thirds of a mile and felt like I could have probably kept going. (I walked the rest of that mile anyway, on account of I'm a little paranoid at the moment.)

—It suddenly occurs to me that I've been boring the shit out of everyone on Twitter about this foot situation but haven't said word one about it over here. The short version is that I lost my routine and got weak, then made some bad decisions about how to get back on while simultaneously making a big change in footwear, and I fucked myself up good. It seems like it's probably reparable, so... yeah.

EDIT: And yes I just edited that title to change the = into a ==.
