Lunch: 7 miles, averaged 9:14. HR 142.

Pretty warm out again, though at times it didn't feel very warm. Still nice with the sun. Air quality a bit elevated so I hacked here and there. Unsure if it is a cold that the boys have (or have had). The overlapping illnesses have me confused.

Hoping to get back into my double starting tomorrow and try to really get those in three days a week. 4 days a week is doable, but challenging. 

Starting to set some big, long-term goals. I imagine it will take another full 12-18 months of consistent running and workouts to get me back to where I was, but this has been a pretty good rebuilding year even with its ups and down. I have some races on the calandar for spring/summer and my training will start to move back up next week. I think the reverse taper this week was sensible even though I wanted to just get back into it.
