PM: 4.1 miles on the treamill, averaged 9:45. HR 167.
Struggled mentally today, but mostly just ping ponging of feeling decent, then awful, then whatever. Attended a zoom meeting for the union at Oakland. Things are getting interesting. Lots of proposed cuts that will directly affect me, Megan, and the boys. Winter semester looks bleak. Needless to say I'm struggling bad. It was great to see so many empathetic, community oriented people though. There's good people and good work being done.
Went to be early last night and that didn't seem to help much as I was up every hour from 3-6:30 or so when the boys got up.
Managed to get something in. Started a longer workout from the previous week but it was clear my body wasn't having it, so I settled on shorter intervals at a faster pace.
8 x .10 miles on/off @ 9.0 MPH/5.0 MPH
Quite dehydrated going into it, but I needed to burn some anxiety. HR peaked in the low 190s. Ran in a new pair of very flashy Nike Zoom Streak LT 4s. Even being overweight I like a lighter shoe on the treadmill. They felt awesome.
