AM Long run - warmed up quickly.  Grandview Loop was nice today. Legs are feeling very fresh after 2 low mileage weeks. Drained a handheld and ate 3 gels (left house with an almost empty stomach). 2 bathroom stops and zero cars on the Grandview Loop.  19miles - 2:27

Strength stuff in the early evening after a visit to the pumpkin patch with the kids - squats, planks, lunges, etc.  Maybe 15 min.

PM - spent $70 on lights and new tire/tube for bike.  Obligated to ride it, now.

5.2 miles around the neighborhood at a very easy pace right before bed time.
