Was able to start running again after more than a week off due to illness (apparently a strain of the flu that I caught from my daughter). I still have an occasional cough and some congestion so I didn't push it too far or too hard. Generally felt pretty good. I felt like I'd overdone it just a bit, but should be able to do similar mileage tomorrow and then start building up again. I'm hoping it will start getting a littler warmer in the morning (18.8 degrees this morning and high humidity). I was happy to find that almost all of the creek trail is now free of ice.

Didn't get that much sleep last night, but I knew I had to get out for a run this morning. I felt like I needed to ease back into the routine after having been out for a while. Started out kind of slow but finished up around 8:25 pace. It was fairly pleasant this morning, temperatures in the low 30's, with some ice along the northern part of the creek trail.

Got out with Laureen this morning. We took it easy because I was feeling a bit wobbly. We came across a number of runners who were out for some kind of event (there were orange cones scattered over several miles), but we couldn't quite figure out what was going on. Our best guess was a group training run of some sort, maybe sponsored by the AF Rec Center.
