I downloaded the Nike Run Club app.  It has a guided run of 8 1 min intervals that I've been trying. I did it first on 7/11.  I had wanted to get around 5 miles in so I actually did the guided run twice.  My run pace overall was pretty good for how hot it was.

We pulled up the carpet Cut out the damaged subflooring Reinforced the joists and new subflooring Then put down a framed plywood base to lift on going forward.  Fingers crossed that we don't have any more issues.
