I haven't really run for six weeks either, although I'm getting ready to get back to it.  I don't let it bother me; I've been doing other stuff and it's been hot.  I've missed it, a little.  I'm getting ready to ramp it back up in a week or so.

I liked running that 5k, it's making me have stupid thoughts about running on the closed Marine Corp Air Station runways.

I guess that's the easiest possible place to run. Completely level the entire way. No hills to climb. Kinda like running in Houston.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I ran a 'fun' 5k on the Fourth and then went on vacation drank lots of beer and didn't do doodly-squat until I started running again on the 15th. The first week sucked but now I'm rolling, so don't despair.

stupid stupid stupid

When it comes to running, I really like the training regimens in this book.

I use air quotes around "marathon" because my time was so slow. The book has good training regimens for 5 and 10Ks, even though it bills itself as a primarily marathon-oriented book. The basic idea is that you aim for specific paces and distances, instead of pure mileage.
