AM/Lunch: 75' on the trainer (Collins -1). 156W. HR 132.

Got an update on my dad from my mom. She thinks he has early onset dementia, which I have suspected for a little while now and was pretty confident of when I saw him this summer. I'm now absolutely terrified at 36. Both his parents had it, but my mom's parents lived until 93 and 97 and just sort of decided to go quietly.

Lots of rain coming the next few days. Will likely be inside. Hoping the treadmill will let me get at least a little something in.

PM: 30' on the trainer (West Vidette -2). 142W. HR 118. + 20' on the treadmill. HR 165.

15' progressive theshold + 5' jog. Started around 6MPH for just a bit then quickly bumped the pace up. A little over 2 miles in 15 minutes and then a very slow jog. I've never run faster off the bike though this was all very short. I've ridden for hours before and jogged 4 miles. Thought this would be a decent combo for the timeslot I gave myself.

Weight: 204.80

I cannot even imagine how that must feel. Hopefully there will be more progress with dementia/Alzheimers moving forward (other than reducing the causes of inflammation and lifestyle choices). Particularly if it runs in your family. Runs in mine too :(

Thanks. Sorry to hear that, Mike. It's really awful. Not that any diseases are great, but, man, it's really unkind.
