Weekend home, TGP ride, end of August

 Sunday RUN 4 miles in ~41 mins. HR Ave 153, Ave Cad 168

Monday BIKE 20 miles in TGP, 17.5 mins/interval. HR 126-136.

COMMUTE 9.2 miles, unless I get my extra 0.8 on the way home. See if it's raining first. 

I left Friday afternoon for home, didn't arrive until kinda late and didn't get to bed until late. Saturday was a rest day hanging out at the bakery then putting together a little party dinner for LA. Another late night to bed and this one with upset stomach. Sunday was better, didn't screw up my stomach and went for my run, before having K's Communion Dinner and driving back to StL. And another late night to bed.

Sleep is an issue for me lately, and this weekend didn't help it any. Ugh. 

The weekend went fast and I'm happy I stuck to some goals I had. I almost skipped my run but and realized that NOT running was more stressful than running. Yeah, I know. 

I told LA today, that I feel like a rock skipping across the water. I have superficial interactions and things I do, but I don't feel settled in or relaxed or like I'm enjoying it. Looking back, it feels like I didn't even spend time with LA. I got to see my sis at the bakery but I was mentally distracted by some unknown. My dad was quiet and seemed on his own. Mom and I talked, but not like we wanted to. Sugar was in pain and unhappy, this was a distraction for me, but that couldn't have been all of it?

The bike today was great! EW went down on her bike over the weekend (no more details yet) so just me and BE. Three intervals, I was more quiet and slow than usual (or BE just rode a little faster, haha!). 

It's the end of August! This month and Labor Day weekend still remind me of events two years ago. How far behind I've fallen since then, how things haven't changed since then. How they have. And how they will this next year. My mind sits unsettled on silly things like that. 

But looking ahead - I still want to do the Virtual St Louis Tri on Labor Day weekend, maybe with LA. The pool reservations open for booking tomorrow. 

Speaking of pools -- I reserved time at the YMCA this Wednesday 7am!!! Go me!
