AM: 10.6 miles, averaged 8:46. HR 158. 

20' (5') - 10' (5') - 2 x 5' (3')

Sawyer was stirring early so I put him in bed with me and slept for a bit and got Charlie up and went back to bed for a while and my sister nicely did breakfast with the boys.

It was starting to get a bit warm, so I tried to keep HR in check. Air was fairly dry and comfortable, the sun just felt very strong. Figured based on recent efforts the pace wouldn't be spectacular. They weren't but weren't terrible. I am just finally now advancing the workouts beyond the schedule that I have gotten off of since March or April for various reasons. Happy to be pressing forward and hopefully building fitness. I've been beating my head against the wall for what seems like forever now. 

20' up/down

20' @ 7:34 (167)

Megan comes home tonight and I am taking my sister back to the airport. Sad to see her go. She's been tremendously helpful and we have had a good time.
