I am officially wiped out, for the moment. I just went out and ran as best I can around the pumphouse and the loop around the out-laws' house, total probably around 200 yards, perhaps a little more. By the end of that my knees were so beat I didn't think I could run any further without falling, but I spent the next 15 minutes or so working out with a bokutoh, which left me ready to drop.
I'm horribly out of condition, but it's a beginning. My running gait is a sort of controlled stagger at the moment though. I suspect my knees would last a bit longer if my ankle didn't throw my gait off so badly, but still, they're in sad shape either way. I don't know how viable running as exercise is going to be, based on this, but I plan on giving it a fair try.
