Supposed to rain so I didn't ride, but it was kind of sunny for large portions of the run. It did end up raining a good bit later in the day. Biggest week in a while.

Night: PT, core, and pushups

Did my River Bends loop. Figured with weather lower than the average low it wouldn't be crowded. My assumption turned out to be correct. Felt a little sluggish, but that happens when you start doing 10 milers every day when you have only run 400-500 miles and it is almost halfway through the year.

Night: PT and pushups

Met up with my buddy Joe to do some riding and hit this week's time trial segement (COVID-19 Invitational TT - Stage 9) as I have missed the last four weeks or so. I waasn't planning on riding with anyone for a while, but I cracked. We mostly stayed away from each other (no hand shaking or anything like that). I also tried not to ride directly behind him, particularly for the segment as I didn't want to do any drafting (segments are to be done alone to encourage distancing as well as to discourage drafting).

The segment started on a gradual climb in a park on grass, which made it a bit cyclocross-y to start and to finish. It included the Dequindre hill toward the end, which made it interesting. We then road around for a longer loop and I left Joe back at Stony Creek and rode home (Megan dropped me off in the Subaru as I wanted to make dinner for her and make sure I got to the meetup point on time).

It felt really nice to not feel so isolated.

Solo ride today to tour some splendid rural country dirt roads. It was less windy today than it has been and it was decent though still below average for temperature (upper 50s).

Was going to ride with Joe but I didn't get out of bed early enough (11AM, which is better than recent and I did make it to bed before 1:00, very rare). I did end up running into him to chat for just a second, which was nice. Had a chain issue, but I got it sort after a bit.

Weather was warmer and not too much wind. Lot of rain coming in, so not too much riding until Tuesday or Wednesday, but I'll run as long as it isn't thundering.
