Crankin, I'm with you. I'm all about endurance over speed. I don't get bored during long runs or rides (I have heard other people often do.) I have a pretty hyperactive imagination and while that limits me somewhat in "the real world" it keeps me busy on runs and rides.

I am jealous of your trip to Spain! Of course I would do more eating than riding.

So, I still have this nagging cough and did not run the past two days. My feeling is, why chance making it worse, and then I'll REALLY lose training. So I am taking it easy. But I miss it. And I miss the bike. I saw a guy riding home along route 3 last evening, standing up on a long hill that I never stand on, and I wanted to stop and cheer for him. Soon enough I'll be out there again. I just have to be patient and get better!
