I missed my long run yesterday because I was out buying my car to replace the Altima that died. We got an ioniq 5, which is really fun to drive and suits our need well. It's MSRP was 53,000 when it was sold last summer and we bought it for about half that, it only has 12000 miles on it. Big fan of Hyundai warranty as well, we were deciding between this and a new equinox ev and one of the deciding factors was that even at 15 months old this car has 9 more months and 12,000 more miles of basic warranty than a brand new Chevy vehicle would have.

Might double today to make up for yesterday, but I also think when I'm building mileage sometimes it's good to take a spontaneous rest day to keep from overtraining. I was feeling a little worn out towards the end of this week but I felt great today. Really depends on whether I can sneak off to the gully at some point before or after seeing all my extended family while Becca shops with Whitney.
