Of Mice and Marathons

PM: 180' on the trainer. 191W. HR 133.

Energy levels fluctuated a bit.

Lunch: 6.1 miles, averaged 10:44. HR 130. 

Cold worsened some, but I was not in the mood to take a day off. Still trying to get energy levels up. Weight is down, which is good, but I am also trying to get rehydrated after my trip to Maine.

I fully expect my dad to pass tonight or tomorrow morning from the sounds of things. 

PM: 4.2 miles, averaged 10:46. HR 130.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 201W. HR 133.

Cold about the same. Should take a day or two off but I need this mentally right now. Had a pretty good day with the boys. We watched a lot of TV but they are sick and I had to dig into some of my school work.

My Dad passed away at 10:30 in the morning. 

Lunch: 6.6 miles, averaged 9:59. HR 140.

Didn't get out of bed to run before class. Did not really feel like getting out of bed at all, but with two cancelled classes and perhaps an additional one in the next week or two, I figured I need to go.

Cold is maybe a little worse, not terrible. Decided once again not to take a day off. HR was probably 10-15 BPM high if not more. Might get back out later or more likely ride the trainer.

PM: 4.4 miles, averaged 10:14. HR 136. 

PM: 7.5 miles, averaged 8:45. HR 150.

HR still a bit elevated but looking a bit better.

PM: 150' on the trainer. 229W. HR 147.

I was going to run but didn't feel like it. Needed some saddle time this week and just needed to stay inside and out of the rain and cold. 

Looks like we are driving to Maine. It was $3000 for four of us to fly. 

The boys turned 3 today. We had a pretty good day overall I think. Had pizza, which they finally have realized they like, cake, and presents. Facetimed with my family. 

PM: 180' on the trainer. 216W. HR 142.

More cramming for Ice Man. We leave very early on Thursday and won't be back until Monday, so I wanted to get some longer rides in. These have helped break up my congestion, though are no doubt prolonging my cold.
