Cold, rainy, windy, but I had a good run. HR seems pretty normal today even after the hard bike effort yesterday.

Riley Cook, formerly of the blog, ran the Boston Marathon today in 2:20:23 (he was 1:09:10 at the half). I think he was the 12th American and 29th overall.

Felt pretty good. Getting back out of the hole I think.

PM: 6 miles in 60' on the treadmill. HR 146.

The new Planet Fitness opened behind our complex last week. The building was the former Hollywood Markets, a local grocery store chain that went out of business November 2017. We have greatly missed it, but now I can play the game of using equipment and trying to figure out what part of the store it corresponded to. Today I think I was pretty close to the meat counter.

PM: 15 miles, averaged 8:38. HR 147.

High winds and rain for portions of the run. Around 42 degrees. Managed to enjoy the run. Picked it up a bit at the end. Felt decent overall. Hoping fitness snowballs back, but I am happy to be feeling mostly better overall.
