AM/Lunch: 10.8 miles, averaged 7:29. HR 147.

75" recoveries. It was not too hot and comfortable conditions, so I decided to head out and get some air. Started somewhat slow, but worked into it and dropped the pace without forcing anything. Felt very in control today, as the workout should.

PM: 4 miles, averaged 9:40. HR 117.

Sold my old gravel bike. Sad to see it go, but it was the right thing to do. I don't spend enough time on the ones I have in my regular rotation.
