Since I started working in the library, I haven't been able to go to rec, except on the weekends. To fill the gaps, I've been doing a 10-15 minute yoga routine in my cell each day. Though I do feel uber-limbo afterward, the yoga isn't doing much for my strength or running ability. Plus, my cellie gives me weird looks that say, "This guy needs some help. Now."
To try to get back on track, I asked Ereman if he wouldn't mind my absence on the mornings that late rec (9:00-10:30) is available. When he said it would be alright, I asked my boss and she said go ahead. Great, I'm back. It's only two or three times a week, but it's better than where I was.
My old pair of sneakers have become nearly irreparable after two years of hard use, so I also put in for permission to buy new ones. For any major purchase (sneakers, radio, electric kettle, fan, etc.), we have to wait for approval from the property officer before our purchase. My request was approved two days ago, so I got the new pair early this morning from commissary. The shoes are Riddell basketball shoes that cost a relatively cheap $32. They're not great, but they're much better than slip-ons or boots. Now it's time to put them to use.
