i long to be able to develop a running practice and intensify my hiking. i did 5 months of PT, but found the theory and practices they prescribed discouragingly vague and i was persistent though halfhearted about my workouts. does the wise sage have any thoughts? 🙏

@movebettersam! i injured some muscle at the top of my inner right leg hiking in 2012. after a decade+ of occasional recurrences, now my psoas/adductors are sore as hell after every mild hike, my right knee, shin, calves fatigue super quick, and plantar fasciitis comes easily.

@TheMindScourge in one of life's unexpected twists i now live next to the college campus i graduated from (where my partner is a new professor). all of the music is the same as in 2011!

It mirrors many of the things I've been exploring on my own. 1/

Second, I'd argue that this intrinsic taste and official "good taste" are not mutually exclusive; that standards know as "decorum" or related words can continue to exist fairly rigidly... 6/

@TheMindScourge a friend of mine, albeit and egregious Duke fan, says it's the "California of the East Coast" which i think i buy
