Lunch: 30' on TrainerRoad (Taku). HR 120.

Got up early (during the 5:00 hour) to feed the boys. Did some work and puttered around until 8:00 or so when the monitor sounded. 

I was going to jog, but realized I probably would need tights and I know they won't fit. And it is damp and cold, though not terribly so. Still, not leaving the house and getting some exercise while rewatching some Breaking Bad sounded much better.

Ordered a bench and a set of adjustable dumbells. Spent too much money, but we aren't planning to go into gyms for some time. Megan is on sabatical in the fall and I believe I am scheduled to teach online fall 2021 even though things should roughly be back to normal by then. We will have saved a good deal on daycare the first year or so. We might eventually do one way a week just to be able to get things done and so that the boys have interactions other than us, the cats, the birds on the feeder, and the exceedingly fat squirrels we have in Michigan.

Day off. 

Figured going 6 or 7 days after being inactive was plenty.

HR 10 beats lower than this workout last week. Day 11 without drinking. Not sure how long that has been. 10 years? 15? 10 years anyway I would say. Feel quite good.

Lunch: 60' on TrainerRoad (Lazy Mountain). HR 112.

First day of the semester technically, but I had everything up for the week and just monitored email. 

Getting up early, not drinking, and drinking lots of green tea is really making it hard to get through much more than 30-40' without having to pee. 

Our treadmill shipped a few days ago. Hoping there is enough overhead room in the basement. It can go in the laundry room if necessary. Trying to figure out if we can get a contractor to reroute the load of a few joists and create a boxed area for an overhead spot.

I think this was the night I installed the pullup bar in the basement. It's been a while. Very humbling!

PM: 30ish on TrainerRoad. 

App or trainer issues. Got frustrated as I build my days so that I have a certain window for exercise. Sweaty and cold out, so I didn't feel like running after and in place of.

Designed my own workout. Nothing fancy. Basically a minutes style workout I would do on the treadmill, but with power instead of speed.
