Welcome back to the road Emily!

Crankin, there's nothing wrong with knowing what your priorities are! Now, if you want to run more but cycling still comes first, I'd say do your long run the day after your long ride, not before; and really emphasize your recovery nutrition after long rides. But this is supposed to be fun eh.

I know for myself I'm really looking forward to getting back to the hills on the bike, but really dreading them for running. We'll see how it goes. The shortest loop from my house is about 8 miles and the hills are pretty steep whichever way I go. I think I can handle that now for my long run. I'm definitely ready for a change from the out-and-back I'd been doing.

In the meantime, I'm still in the flatlands, and I hit half-marathon distance today. Way slow, but oh well.
