AM/Lunch: 8.3 miles, averaged 10:41. HR 123.

Cool but lots of sunshine. HR stayed low and I think I finally kicked the bug.

I just submitted grades a little after 2:00, which I think is an Oakland PR. They are due by 10:00AM tomorrow I think, so this was an improvement over last semester, which I think was midnight and the first fall, which I think was 1 or 2 in the morning. Going to do some cleaning, then go for a longer ride this afternoon.

PM: 50-mile ride. HR 141.

Weather was perfect. Just barely warm enough for short sleeves. The rain we had kept the dust down. Longest ride so far. Some beautiful views. I had an absolute blast.

AM: 4.3 miles, averaged 10:52. HR 120.

Got out early before our department end of year conference. 35 degrees, but the air felt good.

Evening/Night: 8 miles in 1:21 on the treadmill. HR 136.

Varied incline from 1.5-3.0%. Not my favorite time to run but I got it in. It’s nice to have a Planet Fitness within a 2’ walk.

Noon: 10 miles, averaged 9:03. HR 148.

Bridge/Building Workout: 2 (8 x 45" On/75" Off)

I think this will bridge me back into 20 x 1' and some of the other faster workouts from fall and early winter. Felt pretty decent. Stride felt solid once I got fully warmed up.

3 up/3 down.

PM: Off.

Email went out late and no one showed up except me and two other guys. One guy was heading to do another ride, so the other guy and I did the Thursday route. We got a bit of rain and it was a little messy, but the roads were hard packed.

Did my long run early as Megan and I are going to meet some friends at Bell’s, a brewery in Kalamazoo. This week has been a pretty darn good start to the summer.

AM: 4 miles w/ Megan, averaged 10:09. HR 124.

Lunch/PM: 4.6-mile walk on the Kal-Haven Trail

Megan and I got up and out at a decent hour to do a short run. Ended up on part of the Kal-Haven Trail, which forms part of a 33.5-mile trail from Kalamazoo to South Haven. I was supposed to do the ultra the first spring we moved here, but scrapped it. I might do it next spring and do a gravel season to go with it. We ended up walking on a different part of the trail with some friends we stayed with over the weekend. We had a great time.
