General: I know I said I was going to wait 30 days with the elbows, but I've been stir crazy and since the elbows felt semi-decent the last few days I figured I'd see if they felt alright. The end result was positive because they feel alright, except my right one feels a little weird. Tomorrow I'll see how they feel again. Back squats were a little lighter than normal, all the sitting I do in college makes me sore before I even start squatting heavy....

Nutrition: Good, ate a huge dinner. Had some beans and salad dressing, otherwise strict.

Body: Alright, knee felt OK during all exercises. Surprisingly the achilles didn't bother me during the jump roping. Back sore from sitting so much....

Sleep: 9 hours, shitty quality. Thinking once my training starts again I might take melatonin to make up the difference in shitty sleep here.

Reflections: I'm glad I did some exercises today to test the elbow. I'm at day 15 right now, and I'm going to be extremely cautious of what else I do to test them out from here on out. Going to do a metcon and some running tomorrow hopefully. I feel like coming back from elbow problems will be a piece of cake compared to coming back from a brain injury, like I already did this year so I'm optomistic- plus I have something serious to train for and slacking for the sake of it won't work.
