Of Mice and Marathons

PM: 70' on the trainer. 139W. HR 117.

First sign of elevated HR during exercise. Felt pretty awful. Mentally a mess. Feels different than the usal end of semester anxiety. 

Off.

Felt terrible. Just very cloudy and no energy. Feeling pretty miserable all around.

Lunch: 90' on the trainer. 194W. HR 137.

Energy much better and I was ready to exercise, so I got this in while the boys napped. Probably could have gone to 2 hours, but I was coughing and gagging. Decided that was enough. 

+ light core work and pullups 

Lunch/PM: 120' on the trainer. 211W. HR 146.

Rode while the boys were napping as Megan had an on-campus meeting. I wasn't sure they would sleep too long, but they did and I kept pedaling. I was going to try a short run, but realized it was getting late in the day and I wasn't going to have enough time before dark. I will likely try tomorrow. 

Mentally had a turnaround yesterday. Energy much better as well. Cold is up and down, but manageable. Need to get back running as I haven't run in two weeks almost. I just get really off track these days with different things. It made sense not to push it with whatever I have in my system as it was a similar crud that left me with a cough for 3-4 months in 2019 and early 2020. 

+ pull-ups, which I have been doing a lot of lately

Lunch/PM: 3 hours 24 minutes outside. 185W. HR 147.

Got a bit of work done in the morning and decided to ride outside as the conditions were quite nice with sun and temps in the 40s. I wont have too many more outside rides this year, so I figured I would get it in.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 204W. HR 146.

Still sick. Not really sure if this is ever going away. Two weeks of no running. Need to get rolling soon. Just easier to ride.

AM/Lunch; 68' on the trainer. 212W. HR 138.
