Another big zero for today. It was my first day back to classes. No word on my oldest, but she is feeling better. We kept the other 2 kids home from school today because of possible covid exposure. My poor daughter is stuck in her room by herself with the door closed for the past couple days. She only comes out to use the bathroom and go outside for fresh air. I wish we had her results back.

I am trying to catch up on entering my workouts. It is September 1st when I am trying to do this, and this week was a long one with pretty sporadic workouts. I think I did my elementary school loop in 23:08 (7:43/mile).

I ran some with my kids at the park. We did some plyos and running relays. They liked that. Then we played with the frisbee for awhile. After that, I went for a run down to the elementary school and back. I ran a little over 10 minutes on the way out and 8:40 on the way back. I tried to push the pace a little bit and was under 7 minute pace (~6:56/mile). It felt good, and it is slightly uphill on the way back.
