Notes
Jumped the gun because it has been feeling better. It felt fine when I was running (aka I could put shoes on again) but afterwards it definitely flared up for the rest of the day and started creaking again.
Also, I've become buddies with the track walkers and they're very friendly to me, but they are ruthless walkers. A few people have tried to join their walking group but quickly got dropped with no remorse from the OG squad. I'd be too scared to try to join them.
