Thank you, roo. No, I'm not training for a race, but it's a lot more than just keeping in shape. I have worked very hard to get back to where I am in regards to my cycling fitness this past year . At my age, the last thing I'd want to do is lose ground. I'm just trying to understand running as a tool to maintain that *cycling* fitness for a short period of time, so that when I get back I've not lost a lot in regards to saddle time. I know NOTHING about running/jogging, so "just run" doesn't even equate with me. I don't even know what that means. I guess if you're a runner then my questions must seem very elementary. Sorry.
