95' relaxed was what was scheduled. Felt mostly relaxed, but ended up with a perfect progression run at Paint Creek (9:40-6:40 pace). Lots of friendly folks. Felt pretty solid all things considered.
Hip feels messed up again. Will try to hit the PT hard and get another couple appointments if necessary.
PM: 7.5-mile ride to get a few groceries.
Night: AIS, PT routine, and pushups

Finished the Dark Tower 5. I wish I would have marked my reading this summer a little more closely. The sixth isn't too long, the seventh will likely take me a good bit into the month of September. After that, my reading will slow down I imagine. It's been great to enjoy reading again.
Weight is up 3-5 lbs from 2 light weeks plus general vacation debauchery.
PM: 6.3 miles, averaged 9:32. HR 142.

20 x 1’ On/Off
Went to Paint Creek. Warmed up ~3.2. Felt okay, but the workout was soul crushing. I didn’t think I could get through it. It’s generally not a hard workout unless you are rebuilding and haven’t done workouts. Weather was dry but sunny and mid-80s.I wanted to quit after the 5th rep, but kept grinding and got through it. I was glad I did even though it was extremely hard. Cooled down about 2.7. Paces ended up faster than I figured. HR was extremely high. I have to check, but in recent months I think overall it’s been low 160s at most.
Found out I will be making a good bit less than last year and I am panicked. We won't starve, but getting a house in the next year will be difficult. Even after that if something doesn't improve it will be impossible.

| Noon: 5.5 miles on the treadmill in 65’ (just under 12’ pace). HR 120.
Did some captain’s chair work after for my hip.
Didn’t want to get up and didn’t want to run, but for some reason running at the gym sounded good, so I loaded a few podcasts and went. Kept it extremely easy so that I would stay at or under 120. Took in some fluids as hydration levels are still a mess.
PM: 5.2 miles, averaged 10:06. HR 139.

Somewhat rainy for both runs, which was fine. Not sure if the Thursday night ride took place, but I decided I was fatigued still and I needeed a few rides after some time off with travel (even though I brought my bike to Maine).
Found out my contract was an error and will get paid as assumed. I was near tears with joy. Went to the cardiologist for my echo. Everything was fine as I expected. Weird to see and hear the heart though. Cool, but unsettling. It sounds like someone wiggling sheet metal.

Good week getting back into it. Still just over 2 weeks of summer break. I’m very fortunate.
