Did a half mile pickup at 5:48 pace because I was moody. Weather was supposed to be nice, but it felt a lot colder. First day all year in a t-shirt though, but could have run in a long sleeve, non-thermal base layer.

Off. Unplanned day off.

Had student conferences most of the day. Got home and crashed and didn't feel like going out in the high winds and it was dinner time anyway.

Off.

Had student conferences and had a trying experience with an international student whose friend has been writing his papers for him. The student pleading with me for a long time, waited for me outside my office, and followed me outside. At that point I told him he needed to stop or I would call campus safety. After that, I was mentaly sent and went home and took a nap. It's been a very challenging semester.

Weather looks nice the next few days. Not sure if I will run or cycle, but I hope to get motivated to do one or the other or both.

First few with Megan. She got me out the door thankfully and I continued on after she left the park. Felt okay. Good weather. Just not motivated at all.

Lunch/PM: 8.3 miles, averaged 9:48. HR 146.

HR and breathing quite elevated. Felt crappy. Gorgeous weather though. Going to try to get a gravel ride in later.

PM: 38.5-mile ride. HR 164.

Pretty hard effort when it didn’t need to be. Gravel is still rough in places, but solid. It’s much easier to ride in a group.
