Went to Paint Creek. Warmed up ~3.2. Felt okay, but the workout was soul crushing. I didn’t think I could get through it. It’s generally not a hard workout unless you are rebuilding and haven’t done workouts. Weather was dry but sunny and mid-80s.I wanted to quit after the 5th rep, but kept grinding and got through it. I was glad I did even though it was extremely hard. Cooled down about 2.7. Paces ended up faster than I figured. HR was extremely high. I have to check, but in recent months I think overall it’s been low 160s at most.

Found out I will be making a good bit less than last year and I am panicked. We won't starve, but getting a house in the next year will be difficult. Even after that if something doesn't improve it will be impossible.

Night: AIS, PT Routine, and pushups

Sorry about the job issue, hoping that the change last year was on the right track. Less students and classes? Praying for you two.

It was still the right decision. A class I teach is only one credit and I was paid for a full class both semesters last year. I am not sure if it was an error or if they were being generous and have made cutbacks for this year.

Enrollment seems to be just fine for fall. Basically, I need to be teaching four classes of the same section as the other three I am currently teaching. We will be fine, I just would have done something different this summer and we are really unhappy where we live.
