Lunch 15.2-mile ride. HR 126.

Road my riding buddy's fat bike at River Bends. I didn't want to stop. It was such a blast. Now I really want one. Lots of deer trying to run me over. None that close but I was concerned as they were on the move.

PM: 7 miles, averaged 10:00. HR 125.

First few with Megan.

Lunch: 10.7 miles, averaged 8:37. Did some strides.

HR off. Sending it back. I already ordered a Polar.

PM: 6.3 miles, averaged 9:16. HR 127.

I had to get out of the house as the apartment complex is having the roofs redone and it sounded like we were getting shelled. I am sure they will be up there again tomorrow in the AM while I am trying to sleep. I cannot wait to get out of this place. Absolutely no communication from the complex that they would be roofing today. They came to the door at 7:45 to have people move cars. I was already gone.

AM: 12.3 miles, averaged 9:10.

The roofers were making an incredible amount of noise, so I ended up going to campus when I usually work at home on Tuesday. The poor cats are a bit unsettled. 

Came down with a mild cold, seemingly in the middle of teaching yesterday. Hoping it is not going to turn into a head cold. I had a workout scheduled, but I just jogged the rough equivalent of the mileage, which is probably too much but I need to run.

PM: 4.5 miles w/ Megan on campus, averaged 10:10.

I worked her a bit on the hills. Made a last minute decision to go out for burgers. It was the right choice.

Drizzly and cool. Cold feels okay. Not bothersome, but I am quite tired to the point people seem to be noticing.

Ordered a Polar Vantage V last night to replace my Suunto. After about 2 weeks with that one, it's going back.

PM: Off.

I was extremely tired throughout the day, to the point that people were commenting on it. Took the afternoon off from running and got some work done. Mixed in some pushups here and there. Cold feels quite mild.

Beautiful night for a run. I'm in the manic running mode when I want to run all the miles. I was going to fat bike, but I took a much needed nap and it was getting dark and my running skills in the dark are much better than my biking ones.

PM: 14.4 miles.

Aborted long run due to digestive issues. Should have just gone when I got up as planned, but I thought it would be sensible to get some work out of the way. I didn't seem to get much checked off the list, but oh well.

Set up my new Polar watch to test it. I should have used an old watch as the settings were off and threw me a bit.

Night: AIS, PT, and pushups

Day off.

40 days on running and 50 days on with riding on the last time I didn't run. Slept in late this morning. Skipped out on going up north to do the Iceman preride. Just too much time. 

Megan and I spent the day at Blake's Orchard and Cider Mill. Super fun.
