Saturday: Frédéric Cassel

Today, I didn't run, but I did walk, several kilometers. Wasn't really that confident that I would make it very far, since my left knee still felt funny, but I made it to Ginza Mitsukoshi, where I got cake from Frédéric Cassel, the Mille-feuille Finger Pistache for 777 yen, which was excellent like the Fraiser from a little while back. Very creamy, but at the end, I would have rather it was a little less sweet; should have had a beverage.

From there, I walked north three stations, hitting also Matsuya and Takashimaya before the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi to visit Cuoca and get some praliné noissette and a 8 mm pastry nozzle (or whatever they are called). Apparently, hazelnut praline has a really short shelf-like, just over two weeks, which is worrying. I took a train back 6 stations and got peanuts from Nikunohanamasa before walking two stations to the Lawson 100. Pretty quick, I was regretting not taking the train again, but I seemed to end up okay. I'm icing my knee a lot (though my left elbow is worse, which is a little scary).

In short, I proved I can walk (slowly) to cake, so I'll be getting farther from Isetan from now on, I hope. Probably stick to slow walking tomorrow and see about picking up the pace from Monday. Hope to be running again, but at this point, I'll be happy if I can walk reliably problem-free.
