Knee finally stopped pinching on the stairs afterward. Scalp went the other way though — flared up right before a phone screen this week, then settled back down once the call ended, like it knows my schedule better than I do.
Swapped some of my runs for short walks instead of running back to back days. That seemed to do more for the knee than any of the stretches I’ve been trying.
For next week I want to move my run earlier, before I check email at all. Mornings have felt calmer on my skin lately and I’m curious if that holds once I’m actually out moving instead of just sitting with coffee.
