Of Mice and Marathons

Off.

Picked my parents up at the airport around 8AM. Decent day. Wasn't really sure how things would work with dad, but we did okay. 

AM: 60' on. the trainer. 185W. HR 125.

Easy spin. 

PM: 1.4 miles w/ the boys.

Started with Megan but had to turn around as the Buffalo chicken pizza for lunch wasn't going to permit me much time on my feet. Tried to run longer close to the house, but had to leave the boys next to the Polly Ann trail and hit the field. Oof.

Off. 

I think this was the day I took my parents to Oakland to show them campus. I started to hit my limit here with what I could take mentally. You haven't really loved until you pull over in your university parking lot so that your dad can piss his Depends. 

Off.

This might have been the day we went to Oakland, but I can't remember. Emotionally exhausted. I have no idea how my mother survives taking care of him.

AM: 60' on the trainer. 195W. HR 141. 

Took my parents to airport around 6:30. My dad asked when they were leaving at least 20-30 times. Megan and I are tired. It has been impossible to get any work done. 

AM: ~70' on the trainer. 232W. HR 147.

50' of progressive tempo. 

PM: 60' on the trainer. 191W. HR 132.

Rode the trainer while Megan ran on the treadmill. Boys were at a friend's. No Barry Roubaix for me. Tough week mentally with my parents and I am still waiting on my bike. Some people offer to let me borrow a bike and I never changed my registration for the fat bike, so I just skipped it. Both disappointed and mildly resigned to the fact that races just aren't going to happen sometimes. Pretty used to that over the last few years anyway.

The boys are spending a lot of time walking. Crawling a bit still, but a lot more time on their feet. 

I applied to a remote reading institute gig a few weeks ago. Got through the first round, but didn't get it. Finding it difficult to find anything. 

AM: 2 hours on the trainer. 202W. HR 141.

Did 5' @ 322 watts at the 1:45 mark.
