Lunch/PM: 20.4-mile ride. HR 125.

Decided to ride today. Kept it very easy on the Polly Ann Trail. Enjoyable ride. Beautiful first week of weather we have had at the house.

Lunch: 14-mile ride. HR 136.

Just a short one as my HR was elevated and I just wanted to check on a few areas. Went to Orion Oaks Park, which has about 10 miles of trails (cross country, two track, and other various surfaces). I had all I could do not rush home and tell Megan as I was so excited. I checked out the road that connects the Polly Ann to Paint Creek. Not bad, but one sketchy conrner. I will likely take the gravel road (Greenshield). Either way I need to cross M-24 to get to Thursday Night Dirt. I ended up riding down the shoulder/right turn lanes and it wasn't fun/not sketchy even with 55 MPH traffic (and it's Michigan so speeds exceed that).

PM: 3.3-mile walk w/ Megan @ Orion Oaks. HR 83.

We had a good walk/very light hike.

Off.

Went to some appointments with Megan that took longer than expected (everything is fine). Decided to do some unpacking and cleaning. Going to be hot and likely humid tomorrow, so maybe a ride or short jog. Will decide tomorrow based on feel and what else I have going on.

AM/Lunch: 5 miles, averaged 13:03. HR 133.

Used my Polar HRM and the battery seems okay. The Wahoo is going in the trash. Walk with Megan later if we can catch a weather window. Lots of heavy rain, which was badly needed.

Breezy and cooler. Pleasant really. Spent the day organizing the house a bit. Mowed the lawn and tried to practice getting my lines tighter.

My dad is in the ER. Lots of minor and serious complications. I'm afraid the combination of everything is going to be terminal. Starting to worry I might never see him again. He's not in critical condition, but he has lots of health problems cropping up. He'll be 70 in November.
