Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
11.30	0.00	0.00	0.00	11.30

AM: 7 miles, averaged 11:19. HR 132.

Hot week coming. Dry so far. Yesterday afternoon humidity was 25%. Extremely low in these parts.

PM: Started our usual walk, but Megan had to sit down a few times, so I ran to get the Subaru and take her home. She's fine, but we both underestimated the temps and air quality. Those air quality warnings are there for a reason for vulnerable populations. I feel bad as she wants to exercise and doesn't have many options, so I think we are going to try to get out in the mornings.

Evening: 4.3 miles, averaged 11:37. HR 130.

Cooled down a bit. Nice enjoyable plod.

Evidently I missed your post about you and Megan expecting! Congratulations - that's very exciting news - and twins!

Thanks! We decided to do all the adult stressful things in the year of the pandemic :-)

Honestly that's not a bad strategy Jason. Distract yourself from the bad things with good things. Congratulations!

Thanks, Rob. It's been some great news amid the chaos.
