MENTAL STATE: annoyed at my headache, otherwise fine

- warm up
ow ow ow ow ow

- paused squat 275 x 2,2,2
easy, very deep.

- DL 185 x 10,10
easy but new, may feel this tomorrow

- OHP 95 x 5,5

- pull ups x 5,5,5

- hanging leg raise x 10,10,10

very easy workout just to try to avoid major DOMs and CNS drain, and to avoid making my headache even worse. this was not fun but it was good to get through it.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: neck very stiff
MENTAL STATE: relaxed

- warm up
neck stiffness attenuated significantly. took longer than usual.

- SL bounds x a bunch

- sprint 60m x 8 @90-95%
did not want to push too hard considering the prolonged layoff from any kind of physical activity. the first couple i really felt in my hamstrings. after that was better.

- 1-2-jumps x a whole bunch

and that's it. it felt fantastic just to be out on the track, wet though it was. did everything in flats. and my neck now feels better than it has in days. gym tomorrow. i'm back, baby.

need a thread for awesome shit that doesn't belong in the beast thread.

summary of the last five days plus this morning:

wednesday: started feeling sick around lunchtime. went home, had fever, did not work out.
thursday: had fever in the morning, which rose throughout the day despite acetaminophen. felt like absolute garbage, no exercise. felt well enough by evening to do some mobility/stretching.
friday: worse than thursday, fever peaked at 102.3. chills followed by sweats, serious aches. difficulty swallowing. zero appetite, only managed some smoothie and a nature valley bar.
saturday: finally no fever, but serious headache and continued weakness. felt okay-ish by afternoon so went for a walk. better as afternoon progressed (well enough to fuck the bo-jesus out of my gf, yeehaw) until evening, when i started to get a headache and my neck got extremely stiff/achy. still little to no appetite -- could only eat half a cheeseburger for dinner, and some salad. took more ibuprofen. had a hard time getting to sleep but slept soundly for the first time since tuesday night once i did.
sunday: much better during the day, near normal. neck stiffness returned in the afternoon along with headache, difficulty swallowing, and, a bit later, lightheadedness. as i was going to bed i felt very cold for about 20 minutes and then very hot. woke up in the night to pee and when i came back to bed it was sweaty as hell (gross) and also i was comfortable with the temperature (yay).
monday: no fever or headache but still stiff neck and mild trouble swallowing.

well that fucking sucked. i'm gonna go to the track today unless it's raining. if it is, i'll go to the gym.

somebody has a 100.6* degree fever and feels achy all over. that someone is me. gonna see how i feel early tomorrow (no gym this morning because i checked the schedule and there's boot camp wednesday mornings...glad i checked before i went to sleep) but probably no workout.
