Not feeling great, armed with a 10×10 list I went to the shady side of the school. I felt okay starting out. I tried a few pressure flips since Dave told me to. They weren’t close. Then went into normal routine and did a few kickflips before moving into the list that started with halfcab flip, fakie varial flip. I was surprised to get fakie varial flip as easily as I did and it hyped me up. Then I went for heelflip and my knee started hurting and felt super unstable. Then basically just gave out on one attempt. I sat for a bit, debated skating through the pain, but decided I should just not skate. It felt quite a bit worse overnight so I’m gonna chill for a bit with no skating. Argh. I guess at least I know that orthotic insoles aren’t going to prevent the pain, because hey kinda suck.

I have had so little energy lately, but I managed to get myself out shortly before sunset. I ended up at the wood research area for whatever reason. There is a tiny section that isn’t knobbed where I did some crooks to get warmed up. After that I thought I’d get it going, but my left knee pain had other ideas. It was literally actually hard to balance while pushing at times. Ugh, this pain started in WI and I’m not sure why/what it is. I had a warm up line of fakie filp, switch 180 a little brick median, 180 onto the ledge, switch ollie off then added a couple tricks after like fakie bigspin and maybe varial flip. Next run was supposed to be noseslide then front 180 a manhole, halfcab flip, ollie up then pop shove off. But the darn halfcab flip almost killed me. I got to the pop shove a few times, but wussed out. I left quite depressed.
