had one of those silly thoughts today. Walking home from the gym, i was damning my right knee for hurting so badly. Sure, i knew why it hurt – i went dancing incessently the night before, bouncing around with a kid i know, acting like i was still invincible. But why just my right knee?

And then it dawned on me – sports! Sure, i only was in ballet for like a week (ok. that’s a lie.. fuck off). But more importantly i played soccer and which leg was my kicking leg? Or what about javelin, discus, marching band (funny quad movements for sideways behavior). Somehow, i think that my right leg learned to be always facing outwards, always at a slight angle.

So, if i force myself to stop walking like a duck and make my toes point straight, things don’t hurt as much. Now, how can i retrain my legs?
