Cut short as Megan went out with the boys fro a stroller run/walk and they were back in the yard and are impossible to wrangle by yourself.

Megan's Uncle's birthday. We had a good time the night before with all of the boys' cousins running (and crawling) around.

Power to heart rate looking much better.
Today I got my staples out and my splint off. Holy moly. Elbow doesn't have much range of motion. Long road ahead.

PT evaluation today and session #1. Oof.
PM: 2.2 mile walk with Megan and the boys.
The boys weren't having it and I was not feeling great mentally.

Thursdays will take some work to get a ride in, likely after dinner or just take it off. I would like to run with Megan and the boys, but it will be another few weeks before I can run and the boys really aren't into the stroller these days.

3 x 10' hard w/ 5' easy
Workout was to detress a bit. Unmeasured intervals, so I am not sure about the power. Felt a bit better after I think.
PT session #2.

PT session #3. Figured out the day before to dismount the trainer on the driveside as it is safer. Small victories.

Good workout. One I programmed some time earlier this winter. Wasn't sure how it would go. Made it through, but my HR was quite high. I will likely repeat this workout midweek throughout the month of September and then move to 90' with a slight lift in pedal pressure throughout rather than using ERG mode. Felt quite good after this. I think I had a nice couch nap while the boys were napping.

Got a call from the shop on my way home from LTU that my bike only needs new bar tape, which was crazy. I fully expected $1000 in repairs.

Structured progression. Managed to get some grading done during the first part. I think this will make training and the semester workload manageable.

Got some grading done. Quite pleased with how this is working out. I should be able to get the hours in I want to (think I need to) this fall. Not sure why I wasn't doing this last semester and at the end of last fall. Oh well.

Got my grading quota in. Definitely can get a longer session in on Mondays after teaching at noon as Megan has the boys in the afternoons those days. As long as I am getting my grading in, I can ride.
PT session #5. Hurt a bit. Not exactly a fun time.

I didn't have class at LTU, which was nice to not have to drive. Got another 2 hours in and got some grading done. The boys went to their friend's.

90' progression. Felt pretty good.
PT session #6. Back is all jacked up still. Not sure when it is going to settle out.

Hoping that I can squeeze in a short jog on Thursdays when I am cleared to do so. Not sure fitting in a ride is going to work as it is very busy.

Just wasn't feeling it. I had more time as the boys were still napping. They were worn out from walking around at one of the fall events in town. They aren't used to walking around that long or being around that many people and new things. Cold and damp, but we had a good time.

Got some grading in while riding. Ready to get back outside if only once or twice a week. I really want to run too. It has been very fallish outside and I would like to enjoy some of it.
6 weeks to Ice Man.
Had to cancel my PT appointment on Friday, so I imagine things will be interesting tomorrow when I go in. About another week for my follow up appointment with the surgeon.

| Lunch: 3 miles, averaged 11:58. HR data erroneous.
Kind of blah and pissy. Haven't been paid for the new class I am teaching because I am apaprently not an employee on paper (HR mistake, etc). It makes driving 40' and teaching not really all that fun.
First run since before my crash. I cleared myself to go for 35'.

PT session #8. Workout was supposed to be a repeat of last week, but I put the wrong one in. Ended up being closer to the correct effort.

I think this might have been the day we got COVID boosters. Didn't get anything in I guess.
