Off. 

Mentally an okay day. Megan went to see friends, so I had the boys for a good bit in the afternoon and evening. The power surged and knocked out the fridge, which is a 2007. The ice flapper was opening and closing and a light going in and out, so I ripped that out.

Off.

Slept in a little and layed in bed and then went to the Home Depot for coolers and ice as the fridge stopped working completely. Pretty anxious day, but I was able to use the energy somewhat productively.

Felt pretty dang good. Kept it quite easy. I think this was the day we took the boys to the Home Depot to pick out a new fridge. I was pretty anxious, but primarily because it's not a great store for young kids.

PM: 120' on the trainer. 170W. HR 140.

Felt quite good. Did easy/steady alternating laps of one of the London courses. Signed up for a Planet Fitness membership, which I had for 4-5 years before COVID. Air quality is still garbage and I need another inside option. Lifetime Fitness made it practically impossible to get ahold of anyone to schedule a tour and trial pass. Just thought I would try something different. Signed up for Planet Fitness online, downloaded the app, and was ready to go for the next day. A very tough model to beat. It's at the mall, so I worried it would be busy (it turns out it is NOT).

AM: 90' on the treadmill. HR 158.

Checked in at Planet Fitness, got a read on the setup and found a well-positioned treadmill. Going to work out just fine I think. Picked up some Shokz earphones a few days ago and just listened in Jason Isbell (pretty much all I listen to the last 3 years or so). Kept going because I wasn't sure how busy it might be on a Saturday morning. Turns out it's not. Who goes to a gym at the largest outlet mall in Michigan? 

Breathing felt easier than the HR would suggest. Air quality still not great, but supposed to improve over the next few days.

AM: 5.8 miles on the treadmill, averaged 11:12. HR 143.

HR still very elevated, but maybe a bit better than yesterday. Did weights after. Putting down here to keep track. Nothing too exciting, just getting back into a little something. 

Tri press 3 x 12 @ 20, 30, and ?; bicep curls 3 x 12 @ 50; shoulder press 3 x 12 @ 15; and pulldowns 3 x 12 @ 40, 45, 45
