Thank you, Anne, Neil and Danger. BTW, I checked my turnover rate/cadence a couple of times and was pleased that it was right at 176-178. I thought I was way off of 180. Proves again that feeling isn't fact.

Not so much restarting as shifting out of really long, slow base-building and into real training. It's not bad, you're right (all of you are right)--I'm just disappointed. Before I got the stupid 2-week-plus cold, I was running low 9s at about 6 RPE for way longer than 10 minutes.
