Took an enforced leave of absence from running since I had been sick for a month and really wanted to get over it.  I think I am almost there now.  The turning point was my boss recommend a neti pot or the equivalent to clean out my sinuses.  I couldn't believe the amount of stuff oozing out of me the first night.  Two days later and my face is not hurting - so the sinusitis must be healing.

One mile walk with the dog.  Later, to the gym and did 3 miles on the treadmill. .5 mile warmup at 5 mph, followed by 2 miles at 6 mph, followed by 1/2 mile cooldown.  Then 30 minutes on the recumbent stationary bike just to be moving.  10 minute session in the sauna cleaned out more gunk.
