Lunch: 7.6 miles, averaged 8:37. HR 149.

PM: 5 miles, averaged 9:16. HR 143.

Somewhat rainy for both runs, which was fine. Not sure if the Thursday night ride took place, but I decided I was fatigued still and I needeed a few rides after some time off with travel (even though I brought my bike to Maine).

Found out my contract was an error and will get paid as assumed. I was near tears with joy. Went to the cardiologist for my echo. Everything was fine as I expected. Weird to see and hear the heart though. Cool, but unsettling. It sounds like someone wiggling sheet metal.

Great news about your contract! (And the wiggly sheet metal, I guess.) as it stands early sunday morning, you were mileage champ last week. Strong work!

Pre-2015/2016 a 100-mile week might put you in the top 5, especially in August and September when St. George rolls around. Does still feel good to be near the top. I’ll have to find a pic of when I was in third behind Jake and Paul (I think it was my first 100-mile week). I think it’s on my iPad or computer.
