Ha Solo, last week was really dry here! It only takes a couple of weeks to adjust. But you can't imagine the summer. I'm from Ohio and I had no idea of humidity until the one summer we spent here. It p*sses me off to have to run the AC when it's 75 degrees out, but you have to or everything in the house will turn to mold, literally overnight.

Crankin, glad you're starting to feel better and that you've got a choice of prospects.

Aggie, yeah, until I bit the bullet and started running the very hard country roads in Ohio, I'd do laps around a 1 mile fitness trail. I still go there to do intervals since it's flat, but any more than 5 laps and it starts to approach treadmill boring. So I feel your pain! Also, I am totally not an expert, but I've read more than one place that three quality runs a week are enough if it's not your only cardio, and it seems to be working for me to run and ride on alternate days. I'm just pretty much maintaining on the bike while I build running mileage right now. Then over the summer I'll maintain the running while I build strength on the bike - that's the plan anyhow.

Way to go eclectic!!! Definitely for me, adding mileage has been all about form and learning to run more slowly. That's exactly what I said to DH about the half-mary when I ran 7 for the first time just four weeks ago. "I can do that twice!"

Intervals for me tomorrow, but I haven't decided which workout. And then some consolidation for a week or two before I add any more miles.
