Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
8.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	8.00

AM: 60' on the trainer. 228W. HR 129.

PM: 8 miles, averaged 9:30. HR 133.

Got up early again but didn't get on the trainer until a bit after 6. Charlie was stirring a bit around 7 or so, so I just ended it at an hour, had some more coffee and got him so Sawyer could sleep.

Solid easy run in the evening. Foot was achy but not bad. The time off didn't do a whole lot and I think I will just jog as long as it is not painful and remains intermittent. Going to be a bit more aggressive in rehabbing it and get a referral for a podiatrist if I can't get it sorted.

I hope your foot gets better soon with the focused rehabbing.

The parent life with young kids is a constant challenge of balance...but they are worth it. Hang in there.

Thanks, Jeff. It's an issue I have had in the past, just let it go on too long.

The boys are challenging but great. I think I am doing a better job than I once did, though as you note a challenge of balance. The boys have somehow learned to read a little bit, mostly a few words and short phrases, but somehow they have internalize it without direct instruction. It's absolutely astonishing to watch. Beautiful really.

I hope you and your family are well. I need to check in a bit more regularly.
