Wasn't up for much, but figured this would work. First day of school, which was both exciting and mundane at the same time. I posted a introductory video the day before. I wore a nice shirt and suit jacket but had nylon cargo shorts and Crocs on the bottom (Megan and I have decided no outdoor shoes in the house, which I totally approve of even coming from a house where we just did whatever). I like Crocs so much I purchased another pair to try running in. Yes, Virginia, I have drank the Pachevean Kool Aid.

Did just two strides just because. Felt terrible, but it was a great route.
PM: 1.9-mile walk on the track with Megan.
Weather is almost too fall like.

I ran in Crocs. I ordered another pair for the house as I realized I got the ones I didn't want because I was hurrying inside a store so as to not linger. They are actually pretty solid. Wide toe box, which works for me. Responsive but enough cushion. The only issue was a little rubbing on my right foot (it's my shorter foot so the other side was fine). A little Vasaline and it would probably be good.

Cannot recall. Very fallish weather. Unseasonably cool. It would have been a great August and September for marathon training.

Usually September is basically easy for me and is like an extension of summer break but getting paid. A lot more work doing online stuff, but at least I have a lovely home in which to work.

HR elevated, but expected. Very fallish. The kind of weather you'd want for a 20+ miler w/ 10 miles at marathon pace.
My dad's going home tomorrow. Appartently he's more mobile, but is esophagus is the size of a straw, but apparently the goal of where he was was to make him more mobile and apparently and they accomplished that. Not really sure what to do. He's not really helping himself, but also having some confusion and I think he's having trouble. I'm not sure if I should talk to him and try to persaude him a little bit.
2 summers ago I screamed at him about his behavior and said some unkind (but not completely unwarranted) things. I told him if he didn't smarten up I would never come back. That got through to him. He's in a very different state of health, so I am not sure how much he can will/muster himself to get healthy. Pretty tough when you cannot really eat anything.

We have moved to the track as out-and-backs are just not possible at this point.

| Lunch: 2.7-mile jog. HR 141.
This was the week I tried to establish a pattern of lunch runs, but it didn't take. I have the time, but I just having been getting out. The semester is busier than usual, but still very manageable at this point. It's going to be ridiculous at the end of October when the boys arrive.
PM: 1.3-mile walk w/ Megan.
We got in 30', which was good. Twin 1 is really causing her pain and it isn't getting better nor will it most likley.

Mowed the lawn because I guess that is what homeowners do on the weekends. I actually enjoy doing it. It's not a big yard. Maybe an 1/8 to not quite a 1/5 of an acre or so? Nice trees and wetland area directly off the back deck though. Most lots in subdivisions around here seem like that's the size they chunk everything into. It's enough for the kids to move around when they get older.

Planned materials for the week. It makes for a busy Sunday, but during the week it's mostly responding to student emails as timely as possible and grading smaller assignments. Not so bad really. I do some school stuff, I do some domestic stuff. I make dinner. I try to keep our much larger space picked up, but it's tough when Megan cannot help. I'm trying to wait on her hand and foot. I panic here and there. I have too much to drink. I refocus on the priorities.
Only 2.5 more weeks. I'm excited and terrified. Trying to get as much done as possible, but we have a lot of stuff from people, which was very generous. I put the car seats in Megan's new car and assembled the changing table.

Slow, but it still felt like jogging even at a walking pace. Felt pretty solid. Have to get my exercise level up and consistent. I've realized I'm just going to need to make time for it. Things get pretty painful without it,
