First few w/ Megan. We stayed up late with my Mom. I ate 5 or 6 meatballs and paid for the indigestion during the run and throughout the day. It turned cold again, but it was nice and sunny.

Dehydrated and diet has been garbage. Felt good to get out. First few with Megan. Quite cold. Back to Michigan tomorrow. We went ice skating and ice fishing with my nieces and nephews and my siblings. It’s been a long time since I’ve ice skated. The ice was perfect. Rare conditions in these parts. 6-7 inches of smooth black ice.

Have a mild but annoying cold. First one since February or March 2017 I think.

First 4+ with Megan. On my second loop I almost got nailed by a skunk. It was in launch mode, but didn't fire.

Thought I might have missed my blogiversary, but it is today and I was glad I didn't miss the run. We got back to the Detroit area around 4:00. We got a bit of snow in Maine this morning, so driving wasn't exactly relaxing. However, it did turn to rain farther down the interstate, which helped.

Weight up from down week and holidays, but I expected that. We go back to school already at the end of this upcoming week. Break is far too short, but the long summers are pretty great.

PM: 7.3 miles, averaged 8:56. HR 142.

Still a bit of a cold, so I will likely not do the scheduled weekender this weekend and just get two easyish runs on.
