AM: 3 hours on the trainer. 113W. HR 98.

Legs were pretty beat up from running. This actually seemed to help. Long time, but very low intensity.

PM: ~1 hour walk with Megan and the boys. HR 89.

AM: 5.2 miles, averaged 8:34. HR 158.

Tried to run slow, but the person who was supposed to do the gutters and take down the lights from the previous owner decided the roof was too high even though I gave Megan an estimate on the phone. Stress and travel anxiety.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 160W. HR 114.

HR likely off as the monitor has been. Ordered a new one with replacement. They are going to replace every damn one of them the second it doesn't work too. 

Both the bike I ordered from the Specialized website and the one I ordered through the shop came in the same day. I decided on the one I originally ordered because it had the discount. They built up the bike and it was ready in 3 hours. Of course I couldn't pick it up as they hadn't credited my account, but I did go see it.

Off to Maine tomorrow. Well, to New York and then Maine.

Travel to Maine. We got to Canandaigua, New York. The boys did very well. We ordered some food and went to pick it up. Always weird eating where you kids are sleeping but we didn't seem to both them.

Off. 

Got to my parents' house around 8:00 or so. The boys did well. Charlie had a rough last 90', but the second day can be tough. They only had their Kindle Fires for the last part, so maybe an hour at most.

Should have gone running, but didn't even with lots of people around it is hard to leave the boys in an un-babyproofed house and Mom has to constantly wait on Dad.

Off.

The day of my mom's party. Dad had a couple minor meltdowns, but kind of hard to tell the difference with how he is now from what he was, but he has changed a lot since the last time I saw him. He has started rummaging, which is basically what it sounds like (collecting objects arond the house with no apparent logical connection). 

Should have gone running. A few days off are fine, but I needed to get out more than the one time we did (on Father's Day).
