Took Mom, Katie, and Delia to the airport. It was a good visit. I think the boys are worn out.

Did my first session over FTP in some time. 4' intervals with equal recovery. Not difficult. Just some to bring some tension to the legs. 

The boys' first birthday. They woke up early (4:00ish) for bottles and then went back to bed until a bit after 8. 

PM: 4 miles w/ Megan and the boys, averaged 10:16. HR 137.

We had a good day with the boys. We did presents and a cupcake (again).

AM: 4.2 miles, averaged 10:31. HR 138.

PM: 60' on the trainer (Lazy Mountain). 110W. HR 111.

Dialed the percentage back a little to keep the HR lower. Probably should have put it down to 70-75% to keep the HR closer to 100 or under. Felt a little sluggish and legs were clunky. Probably just tired and need a day off. It's been a while. 

The boys were in their jump-ups while Megan ran. I think they are out of practice or bored with them. They are pretty close to the weight limit anyway, but, man, earlier this summer and spring they went nuts. Assembled a few more toys from their birthday. Megan got some great stuff. Caulked part of the roof flashing that has a small leak. We will see if that takes care of it.

AM: 90' on the trainer (Townsend -1). 154W. HR 133.

Felt a little clunky and sluggish still. 

PM: Off.

We were supposed to go see Megan's parents to celebrate the boys' birthday but they called off, unsurprisingly. The boys were going to go over to a friend's but she had been around her friend who teaches at Oakland who tested positive for COVID even after being vaccinated and masking (she teaches in-person). I imagine the cases of breakthrough cases causing breakthrough cases is pretty low but there was no reason to chance it.

Legs weren't working the last mile or so even at a very easy pace. Good day with the boys. I didn't do any work, which will make Sunday challenging.
