I haven't been active lately. Work has drained me somehow. DDP yoga was a little too intense for me at my size. It hurt me too much or I was doing it too hard. Anyway I was in a lot of pain for a while. I have little energy and motivation. My friend recently did a 5K. Hearing this news semi-motivated me. He did the couch210K thing. I had heard about it and was going to start it, but when I experimented with just running, I couldn't take the pain in my legs. I can handle pain, but this was too much, like something was wrong. Plus I didn't want to hurt my knees. I have seen what happens and it isn't pretty.
UPDATE: Good news! I have figured out that the pain I was dealing with in my legs [and later both ankles] hasn't got anything to do with DDP yoga being too intense. I am a BIG courier driving a COROLLA. The only thing I don't really like about the corolla is not enough foot room. My left knee presses against the door handle contours and my right knee presses into the console. Without the ample room for my legs, my right ankle takes a beating getting into position to put my foot on the accelerator.
I am still in pain, but aware of what is causing it. I am looking for another job and looking forward to DDP yoga again. An old friend of mine is doing quite well with it and is now offering instruction. Thanks for reading this uninteresting drivel.
