So the kids came down with 2 different types of flu consecutively and I had no less than 1 kid home every day for 2 straight weeks. As such, I decided to take my annual 4 week end of the year break a bit early this year and then start over trying to build my base back up, increasing miles and dropping some weight (put on about 10-12 pounds during the 4 weeks off -- pretty typical for the break, it will come off fairly quickly). So now the goal is to build up my base and work on my fat-burning pace until about late January when I'll start formal training for this year's marathon (Bayshore Marathon, Traverse City, Michigan -- May 29th [unless this won't work with my wife's work schedule in which case I'll have to pick another one.) So today was day 1 back at it.

| 8 miles in 59:48 (7:28s). 5 hills of moderate grade and length in this run all hit firm, but not hard. Probably around 15k-1/2M pace. |
