My struggles to get back into jogging were hampered by a week-long period of illness that seemed to alternate between an allergy outbreak to a mild flu. Whatever the case it seems to have finally passed and I need to get back on the streets.

Quads are very sore after yesterday's effort so I dialed it back a bit. Each mile seems so long now that I have been away from it all summer.
