Lighter reintroduction session. Felt good, though it is a very light session. HR still got up to 177 at some point.

AM: 4 miles on the treadmill, averaged 11:55. HR 130. 

PM: 60' on the trainer. 192W. HR 139. 

HR is still high, but it will come around eventually. Not terrible, jut my power to HR ratio is not quite what I have been used to. Pretty humbing "run" too.

I don't recall anything significant about this day. Just trying to work a little running back in. I get frustrated with it, then I feel like I need to do it more and feel better when I do, so here we are.

Boys had a snow day, which is always a kick in the pants when it is my only weekday I don't have to be on campus. We made it through, though.
