Lunch: 8.1 miles, averaged 12:41. HR 134.

Slow, but felt really good. Ideal summer weather. Picked up another class at another college. The pay is less than 1/2 of what I get at Oakland, but it seemed like something I couldn't pass up.

Megan got her tenure acceptance the other day, which is security of employment and a nice raise. Of course, someone at the University announced it on Facebook and somehow missed communicating privately to Megan and others.

PM: 3.20-mile walk w/ Megan on the Polly Ann Trail from the house. HR 78.

We took a few items over to the house and went for a walk. The crossing from the main street to the trail is a bit sketchy given that it's about 45 MPH and there's a blind knoll. Might have to take the pathways to the first cross street and enter the trail that way. Not sure why they don't have some sort of signal there. We walked on the shoulder on the way back as there was more room, but it still wasn't as safe as I wanted. And people don't slow down, even for a woman who is visibly pregnant.

Good day today.
