Life is too hard

Mon 5/27: 45min bike, 12.05mi. Knees/IT band were hurting a bit. Benched 8x115, 8x120, 8x125 (barely), 5x130 (w/ help on the 5th).

Tue 5/28: PM: Huntington down Oxford, 5.8mi, 45min (7:45 pace!). Knees a bit sore at times and some side stitches (dinner was so bad...), but felt really good other than that! We ran through sprinklers on Huntington! ;P

Wed 5/29: 60min bike, 15.8mi.

Thu 5/30: Upper Arroyo, 7mi. ~8min pace. Finally got to run in the arroyo! It's been forever! Saw the bros, Ani, and Ian in the beginning of the run doing Garfield long way.

Fri 5/31: Omg 3 sets due today. Working for all of the last 2 days straight...
PM: So much DDR awesomeness! And then nerf gun fighting! and then more DDR! Such a fun evening. ;P

Sat 6/1: DDR in the SAC. So much soreness... quads, knees, IT band, shins.

Sun 6/2: Off.

Total: 12.8mi + 105min + DDRx2 + Nerf.
28mi equiv.

We've come too far to give up who we are

Mon 5/20: 30min bike. 7.79mi, not that it actually means anything. Benched for the first time in forever: 8x95, 8x105, 8x115, 6x125lbs, felt really good! Did random other upper body stuff.

Tue 5/21: San Gabriel, 4.1mi, 31min. Felt pretty fast (7:30 pace...). Apparently my IT band's just inflamed (as expected...), and if I foam roll it like 4 times a day and stretch and ice a ton, it will go away.

Wed 5/22: 45min bike. 12.00mi (totally not planned ;P). Benched 8x115, 8x115, 8x115, 6x125, was pretty easy. Rob did 10 reps instead of 8. =/

Thu 5/23: Garfield long way starting/ending at Page w/ Emil, Elliot, and Patrick, 6.2mi, 48min (7:44 pace? Didn't feel that fast). Felt really good, IT band uncomfortable at times but nothing too bad. Slight L IT band pain in the evening.
GO TO SLEEP FROSH, IT'S DITCH DAY!

Fri 5/24: WAKE UP FROSH, IT'S DITCH DAY!
PM: DDR.

Sat 5/25: DISNEYLAND! ;P

Sun 5/26: DDR in the SAC for a bit.
Huntington up Virginia, 5.4mi. Slowed down/turning around near the end b/c waiting for ppl.

Aftermath

My knees are dead. I can't walk properly up and down stairs, and I haven't even run in over a week. This sucks. All I want to do is start running again, but my body just isn't ready. I don't know if it ever will be...
