SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back after i tweaked it on a jump, now it's kind of bad
MENTAL STATE: tired

- warm up

- jumps x 10-12
very inconsistent and slow, as expected, but i managed to get a couple around 34. so not a catastrophic fail considering how long i was gone. good job, me. toward the end tried a couple of one-step RL plants and on the second one i got all twisted and my back was like, fuck.

- squat 135 x 5,5,5
back tight but these were doable. i'm slightly regretting it now, though.

- bench 185 x 5,5
whatever

- DB RDL 80s x 10,10

- kroc row 70 x 22(R),20(L)

- stretch

considering i slept like shit last night and am for sure jet lagged, this could have been way worse.

EDIT: two hours later, lower back is really stiff and achey. right knee also bugging. damn it.

no, i was just doing a couple of one-step jumps. not the first time, i do them periodically. but i was thinking about it last night so i tried 'em. it's still "natural" to reach with my left hand on those so on one of them i reached with my right and things got all twisted.

also, my right knee hurts still, right behind the patella. not when i'm still but when i'm extending against resistance. not the first time i've had pain like this. i assume it was triggered by the squats but no idea why. my ability to squat at all just evaporated spontaneously a few weeks ago and it is still a mystery why.

also, i think i have a small labrum tear from grabbing the rim.

perfect day to run, was patient and good boyfriend, hanging out with gf and her sister and sister's bf, not drinking, waiting to get to the track. drove to the track. it's fucking closed on weekends. no indication that it would be closed on the website. this beautiful 400m oval. i asked the guard if he'd look the other way while i jumped the fence but he laughed and said no. not mad at him, it's his job. but seriously WHY THE FUCK ARE TRACKS SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND. i should have just gone up to towson.

seriously pissed. going to work out tomorrow and monday but WJ:OEIFNMDLS:KVN:SDLIGHJFSDL:KVNX:CLVKJNSD:FL 

ended up getting baited and switched by gf last night and then feeling sick in the evening, so no gym. this morning headed back to that beautiful track and it was beautifully open.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a bit tight but not horrible
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up
included some power skips and a couple of short-approach DLRVJ.

- bounding practice
awkward as fork. got a little better toward the end but basically i'm still super uncoordinated on these. come on, newbie gains.

- sprint 60m x 4
about as slow as you'd expect

- sprint 300m x 1
more like a fast jog, but was still spent by the end

- stretch

t0ddday is right, i'm gonna have to earn the right to do tempo. legs finished after the 300. come on, newbie gains.
