Lunch: 5.3 miles, averaged 12:20. HR 134.

Did a little exploring and even ran on the track at Waldon Middle School, where I assume the boys will go. Lake Orion School Systems is fully online this fall. I think that's the right choice, but it's also fairly privledged as I doubt too many in the Detroit Public System are giving grades 1-3 each an iPad.

PM: 1.6-mile walk with Megan on the track. HR 88.

Our 3+ mile out and backs are working well at this point, so when I found the track the other day I suggested maybe that would be better even though not very exciting. There are some nice wild flowers on the other side of the fence.

Wasn't up for much, but figured this would work. First day of school, which was both exciting and mundane at the same time. I posted a introductory video the day before. I wore a nice shirt and suit jacket but had nylon cargo shorts and Crocs on the bottom (Megan and I have decided no outdoor shoes in the house, which I totally approve of even coming from a house where we just did whatever). I like Crocs so much I purchased another pair to try running in. Yes, Virginia, I have drank the Pachevean Kool Aid.

AM: 5.2 miles averaged 12:31. HR 138.

Did just two strides just because. Felt terrible, but it was a great route.

PM: 1.9-mile walk on the track with Megan.

Weather is almost too fall like.

AM/Lunch: 4.2 miles, averaged 12:27. HR 131.

I ran in Crocs. I ordered another pair for the house as I realized I got the ones I didn't want because I was hurrying inside a store so as to not linger. They are actually pretty solid. Wide toe box, which works for me. Responsive but enough cushion. The only issue was a little rubbing on my right foot (it's my shorter foot so the other side was fine). A little Vasaline and it would probably be good.
