The subway system was up and running this morning (sooner than predicted), so I went to the office, and then to the gym after work. (If it hadn't been, I'd have worked from home, and maybe done a little bit of exercise afterwards.)

My knees have been bothering me for the last couple of weeks, and while standing on the train on the way to the gym I noticed that my feet weren't aligned quite as I'd been working on with Emilie. I shifted them, and my knees stopped hurting within a few minutes, which is impressive, and suggests that I hadn't been doing it wrong long enough to damage anything or significantly weaken those muscles. This also suggests that it isn't as internalized as thoroughly as I need it to be, so I will try to watch this again.
