Two weeks ago my furnace went out and I had to layer clothing while it was repaired. The cold tightened my muscles anyway, and at the end of the day, I decided to unwind with exercise. I was doing pushups gripping two 12kg kettlebells when I lost my grip and fell. One of the handles strained my left pec. The other bruused my right index finger.
While resting and recovering, I decided to learn new ways to lace and tie my shoes. As a child lacking dexterity, I learned easier, faster ways to tie shoes, all of which came undone too easily for my liking. Lacing shoes seemed too onerous and time-consuming to be worth learning. Until here I was with some time I had to avoid strenuous exercise. Why not knock out longstanding demons?
I favor straight bar lacing. It looks uncluttered and leaves more lace to knot at the end, for which I learned the Parisian and Berluti knots.
