School shooting in Oxford today just north of us. My anxiety went through the rough and wasn't sure I was going to make it through the semester without checking myself in somewhere.

Off.

Anxiety at an all-time high. Struggled. Knew I had to take care of the boys and parent with Megan but I found it impossible to function.

Fairly rough to start, but the boys slept in a bit and I went to sleep on the couch with the monitor so Megan could sleep. I went back to bed and worked through things after that. Made my peace with the fact that I will get done what I can on some level for the semester and the world is crazy. Tried to focus on positive thinking.

Started to feel increasingly better throughout the day and did all the little things that add up (showering, hydrating, and so on). 

Had my Wahoo Kickr smart bike delivered. I made all the adjustments and was able to get a ride in. It's incredibly smooth and now I don't have to take my bike on and off the trainer and not put wear and tear on it. Going to sell the old trainer.

PM: 60' on the trainer (Pettit -1). 131W. HR 128.

Wow. What an incredible machine.
