Off.

Upper shin and knee area are a little stiff. Preemptively icing it. Kind of an anxious mess today. Will likely just use today as a rest day and try to get some work done. We got our first round of very light snow.

+ Light weights and strengh work

Anxious mess the last two days. The boys seem to have a stomach bug, so that has been fun. They really have never been sick. 

Knee/shin have been fine, but I have been struggling not to be in bed during my morning exercise/work time.

Went to bed very early last night. Didn't sleep great. Had a lot of nightmares about the boys. Anxious today, but better after the run even though it was pretty crappy. Legs were knackered from lunges and squats yesterday. HR elevated.

PM: 60' on the trainer (Pettit -1). 131W. HR 125.

Felt better today starting around lunch time. I started hydrating pretty seriously and that has made a tremendous difference.

Applied a little pressure the last 5'. Started to feel anxious this day. Did a little yard work, but it required more time than I had.

PM: Off. 

It was probably a mistake to take the afternoon off. Needed a little more exercise.

Off.

Anxiety was pretty brutal. Couldn't even get it together to anything short and light.
