8:53am — I slept in till 6:30am. Trying to give my legs some rest. Yesterday at the bike park was insanity. My legs cramped before we even got to the car. I had to hobble to the car. Sat in the car for a few minutes while they calmed enough to buckle the kids in and drive.

Loading the car I needed thatcher to pack up the scooters. Ugh. I grabbed a large stick of wood. Like a cane. But even with that walking was brutal.

We made it to the bike park. Kids are out. They wait. They say go faster. My legs literally aren’t working. It’s brutal. I eventually find that walking backwards is ok. Kids ask why I’m walking backwards. I’m like. My legs are really sore. Sideways works half decent. I make it to the bench and pop my feet up. Ugh. I recover enough to make the climb to top of pump park. Jude immediately says. Check this out. He’s doing awesome but then bails. Scrapes his knee. Ugh. That is literally exactly what I thought could happen if I climb up and watch vs chill on the bench. Alas. I want to see them rip around. Also in case they biffed. Which. Turns out was Schrödinger’s cat.

Seeing him biff I gained energy to walk. Felt fine but then regressed when I saw he was ok.

We head over to the skating rink. Flat. Open. I was able to stand and stretch my calves. Tried that out. And wow. It gave me life. I could actually walk again. It was great. The kids played on playground. I was able to stretch some more and walking was fine. Sore from the spazz but perfectly fine to walk.

I didn’t have another spazz till after the shower. Did a stretch. When I was feeling fine. Went downstairs they seized up at the bottom. Ugh.

Woke up. Feeling fine. actually not even sore. And then they seized up as soon as I got downstairs. Wtf.

I then start getting a little more worried. Will I ever get over this. Is there something worse that I’ve done to myself that won’t reverse. Ugh ugh ugh. Lauren’s like worst fears. And I’m like. Wtf. Nobody mentioned this type of ailment. I figured it was going to be something like the knees sure. Or feet soreness or muscle soreness. Stuff you can feel when you’re approaching. Fine. Back off a bit.

But this was like. All of a sudden. You’re slapped in the face. You go to zero.

My legs I guess. They’re getting worked. I did think I was going that hard on them. But I gather not enough recovery. Not enough base to do what I was doing. Despite me feeling fine.

Anyways. All of the sudden. My legs prevent me from like using them at all which I guess is a fine mechanism. To force me to stop and recover fully.

I’m getting sad and concerned tho. Hopefully today they continue to make progress. Hopefully tomorrow they’re not spazzing. This right now. I wouldn’t be able to walk across the parking lot to work. I’d barely be able to walk out of my house to the car. Fuck me.

I really hope this gets resolved. That my body does what it needs to do. I can’t run a half marathon if I can’t walk downstairs. Somehow I’ll need to feel confident enough to run that I can go for it. Still time. But like every day. This is here it’s just more and more brutal.

11:07am. — work and working through new phone case splash page. Because there is time with each adjustment. Every time it runs through the code. I do work work. Continuing to get closer and closer. I’ve been hung up at this freaking text box tho. It just can’t seem to get it right. I’m wishing I could go back to an earlier version but you only go back like once. I can just pull up that code unfortunately. Oh well.

I set it to default and we’ll try again from scratch. I’ve simplified it down quite substantially. It’s pretty epic if we could get something like this stood up quickly.

11:28 — the only good thing. Maybe. About the calves issues. Is that i was forced to let my knees recover. Pretty much zero load on the knees. I am reallly hoping the calves get sorted. I can’t imagine my muscles are thaaat sore beyond I’m thinking like next couple days. In the past when I over did it, sure I guess immobilized thinking biceps when in high school I think. Were so tight could barely extend for few days and then lingered likely a week plus. So. We’re still in the realm of reasonable. But. Seriously. This is ridiculous.

Feels like maybe some light stretch. Feels good. And some motion medicine.

They are just like almost seizing up like tin man. When seated. Walk to garage felt a little pull a little cramp. Stop everything. Toe up to keep it stretched from cramping. Aside from these little grabs. It does feel like my legs are pretty fresh.

12:10. — opening up the body. Maybe that’s also what happened. I did all this hip crunching work. Could that be why my body got over taxed as well? And then even tho my calves don’t really feel tired they’re maybe easy to pull on or whatever. Not sure. But I do know. That this stretch I just did had plenty of cracks. Release and I think beyond before. Like taking off the cast or cocoon or something and it’s grown and has great motion.

So the stretches are feeling good.

The other thing I noticed in the mirror. And maybe it’s just the mirror. But looking at my calves. And they are substantially larger. It appear. So that also is what’s up. The fact that they’ve grown to where they are now. Maybe they just put on the governor to allow them to complete this growth recovery phase. All in all. Feeling more optimistic. Still concerned I won’t be back running without a care in the world, soon enough.

2:25 — soo many iterations. And then right when you’ve got the final. It like crashes almost irreversibly. This is like going back to hitting control safe. Ugh.

Alas, super excited with progress we made on it. And really, this is the key. Figure out what it takes to sell out these mock-ups. And then figure out what it takes to convert after creating the mock-up. See what conversion is. But this is a much easier problem to solve. In this manner.

Then we can a/b giving the customer the ability to create their design right there instead of waiting. Which I mean. The wait could work to our advantage. And really. The level up could be back end. The design might be auto created. Approved by Owen. But like. All done in a few seconds no effort from us really but keep the time delay because that increases conversion.

Or try and turn it around super fast. But don’t need to have it run on the website. Still via text or email.

3:20 —- the swing machine.

Do some swings on this. And it’s not even if you do well or do bad. It’s the effort to do so. Get a grid drawn next and we’ll experience that even stronger.

Working this basically hyper tunes your practice swing. So when you address the and practice swing. Then real swing at the ball it’s pretty effortless. The practice swing turbo and then add the ball and a grid. And it’ll actually just hyper tunes your your swing. Irl.

Just doing a few of these shots. Trying to do your best. The feedback is so strong it doesn’t matter if you’re good. When you hit the ball off turf it’s a new game. You’ve got more skill. I gather the test prior and feedback quality so good so tough. Got you calibrated overclocked. So the real ball is easy.

3:27 — i thiiink I’m improving. Now it’s left lower calf. And right feels fine. Which is the thing about this.

My legs are feeling more and more fresh. These little grabs. They’re weird. But just noticed there. Muuuch easier to stand up. Last night I was like locked into a seated position. Took a minute to stand up. LOL.

6:04 — legs feel fine. But still twitchy. Now left leg is more sensitive. But then enough load and the right got excited.

I MOWED THE LAWN. Pretty slow going. Had to stop and stretch a few times. But we’re making progress. When not grabbed feels fresh.

And we also polished up the phone case wizard mvp. We are pretty good to share that with Owen. Along with the pitch

I’m actually half decent quick walking backwards. Which is interesting.
