Running with a head cold

Every morning for the last 4 days I've woken up and considered skipping my run and every morning I've wound up doing it anyway.  I bargain myself into doing 'reduced' mileage, and then once I get going I feel pretty good and wind up doing more than I bargained for.

Yesterday, 7.10 miles at 8:30 pace (1:00:21 duration).

Today, 5.5 miles, 8:22 pace. (46:00 duration).

Made it through my step back week with a total of 31.6 miles.  Plan to hit 40+ again next week as 2019 quickly comes to a close.

Seems like the easy running temporarily opens up the airways and clears out the sinuses and I feel pretty good for about an hour or so...  then the congestion returns and I'm back to feeling like crap.
