sick of being sick.  I've been out since Sunday and I'm starting to get cabin fever.

I've been sick for a week almost exactly.  It was a little rough coming back.  Not due to motivation, but because I got out of my groove. I may have also tackled a tougher course than I should have for my comeback run. In the first mile and a half I climbed 555 feet.  After that I was pretty much exhausted. It's good to be back though. 

 Here are the split details: 9:23, 10:35, 8:20, 9:09, 9:14, 9:30, 9:43.

Since my goal half marathon time is 1:45, or 8 min miles, I've clearly got some work to do.  But those hills today will certainly help.

Sunday was a good run even though I felt sick later that day.
