Slapstick

Last night's post got derailed by a late-evening incident with an angry soda bottle and all of my sheets. Anyway.

I am distinctly more stiff this morning than I have been the past two days. Not quite stiff enough to lose range of motion, but it's hard to get those last joints to flex that last half-centimeter. Calling it a 3, although there's no pain to speak of.

Three possible reasons:

- Weather. I always like to blame the weather, and it's been raining all night and we're due thunderstorms today.
- Food. I ordered a (gluten-free) pizza for dinner last night, and also had root beer and ice cream. These shouldn't be triggers necessarily, but that's why I'm tracking.
- Meds. Yesterday was my first day stepping down to 20mgs. I'm going to stay there today and see what happens.

Anything else, including the Will of the Gods, could be the culprit, but those seem most likely.

I did my squats and pushups yesterday - 3x10 of each. No real trouble, although I expect my quads to be complaining by nightfall. Planning to run this morning, stiffness or no.
