Three Days Later, Standing Is the Hard Part


After a walk down the entire length of Wilshire Blvd. - with no training or preparation, except to buy a new pair of shoes - I admit I could walk a little more.

If I can stand up first.

The $40 New Balances kept my feet comfortable (and blister-free) but they couldn't protect my 36-year-old knees from 16.2 miles of Los Angeles concrete.

Good news: it only hurts to stand when I've been sitting a while, like when I'm at work or at the movies.
But really, how can I not go to the movies?
