Of Mice and Marathons

PM: 3.3-mile walk w/ Megan and the boys.

I opened up a few of my online courses. They were purposefully hidden as an FU to the administration, which no doubt made things stressful for students. It was not easy for us.

PM: 3.4-mile walk w/ Megan and the boys.

We took them to the subdivision park on the swings for a bit. A nice perk for paying $850 a year to live in our own house.

Off.

Worked on getting classes rolling. Don't recall much else.

PM: 4 miles w/ Megan and boys, averaged 10:43. HR 156.

Worked on opening up my other classes. I was late, but wasn't sure what to do because I didn't know how long negotiations would go on.

AM: 4.2 miles, averaged 10:05. HR 156.

We tried to begin our schedule to accomodate rest, work, time with the boys, etc. I need to run in the mornings to set the tone for the rest of the day.

AM: 6.7 miles, averaged 8:56. HR 172.

Ran down Joslyn and the effort got high because I was on the side of the road and wanted to get back to the trail.

PM: 4 miles w/ Megan and the boys, averaged 10:22. HR 158.

Highest mileage day since I don't know when. Dead tired but a good day. 

AM: 4.1 miles, averaged 9:38. HR 156.

We had our friends and their daughter (15 months) over for a bit in the afternoon. Felt a lot less lonely and isolated. 

Probably going to drop out of riding Iceman and probably give up racing altogether for a while. It's been since November 2019 anyway. I haven't ridden in about a month. Just don't feel right taking too much time.
