Starting all over.

I was interstate for a week on work, a few weeks ago, and a complete brainfart at 5am in the morning lead to me leaving my bloody luggage there. I literally got all the way to the airport, onto the plane, and back into Melbourne before I'd realised I was minus all my luggage. I am a pillock.

Anyway, two weeks of stuffing around after that, and I manage to get it back. Couriers being idiots, the people over there taking almost a week to get me the info I needed before I could arrange shipping, and so forth.

Why do I bring this up? Because my running shoes were in my luggage. If I'd known it was going to take two weeks to get them back, I'd've just bought some new ones! Oh well.

Did I continue to eat properly in the intervening two weeks? Honestly, no. I didn't exactly eat horribly - steered clear of McDonald's and its ilk - but I probably had the odd Coke here and there, and I made the wrong dinner/lunch choices a few times.

The point is, I didn't do any exercise in that time. I could have gone swimming, I could have done situps and pushups and all the rest, but I didn't. Bloody unacceptable.

So anyway, I've got my shoes back. Have I been jogging in the week since I got them back? Once. My motorbike accident last November left me with a pretty sore knee, and it's been flaring up lately. I really can't figure out why, though. I was jogging in January, and in February, and in early March, and it was mostly fine. So why is it causing me a problem now? I went jogging the other day - that "once" that I mentioned - and I get a sharp pain in my knee whenever my left leg hits the ground. I'm quite worried, but right now I can't afford a visit to a physio.

Really not sure what to do.
