Didn't run the past two days as I was at Dollywood with my 3 youngest kids. Went to the gym today, ran 5 miles, then weights.

AM- Ran 8.5 miles at the gym.

Wife and 2 oldest kids get home tonight after 9 days away. I haven't really talked to an adult during that time. I'd say some pressure has been building inside- no pressure relief valve. At this point, I'm just sick of all the covid crap- the stress, job losses, school issues, etc. I'm just plain over all of it. 2 weeks to flatten the curve has become over 4 months of arbitrary shutdowns and ever-changing-rules, with no end in sight. I'm tired of it and the very real impact it's having on people.

AM- Legs felt absolutely dead today. Slogged through 6 miles at about 9:30 avg pace. Oofdah. I did have a doe and fawn run across the road in front of me. Then did weight lifting.
