greenstormThis morning I noticed I am moving more easily. I woke up and stretched, comfortably. When I walk I don't need to force joints to move against the tightness of the opposing muscles. My hips swing, my stride is comfortably long, things don't hurt.
The house is between 27C and 30C, I've been running the woodstove on a 24 hour 2/3 full cycle with birch for the last few days because I don't want to pay for electricity. It feels a little too warm to think, but it is so good for my body.
What a dream, not to hurt and to move freely. I step out into the crisp cool and things keep working, I haven't been out long enough for things to knot up. I wonder if a sauna once per day for an hour would replicate this effect? Just loosen things out so the cold never fully seizes them up. It's funny because I don't really notice it happening, as through September my house was at 17Cish and it felt fine, but then it goes away and I feel amazing.
My relationship to cold is complicated. I'll think about it more sometime.
