I'm from the northeast, Baltimore. I love running also. Once I get the pace going, and breathing is correct, I can run without any problem. I run for distance, not speed. My last 1 minute, I run fast as possible. I also don't go running right after a meal, I wait at least 1 hour after meal. Maybe take a sip of water also, but not too much.

Why the same distance all the time? Same pace? Speed work? Fartlek? Intervals? Hill work? Curious.

Yup I mix it up, but it's usually around 6 miles. My longer routes are 10-12, and I have many routes depending on what I want to work on/feel like (hills, woods, track). On an average run, I'll do 5 minutes of jogging separated by 30 seconds of sprinting, and go all-out the last mile or so.
One track exercise I really like is to warm up with a mile run, then jog 100 yards, sprint 100 yards; jog 200 yards, sprint 200 yards; and finally jog 400 yards, "sprint"

400 yards.

I usually run 6-9 miles 2 times per week and then throw in one run that is 12 or so miles. I typically run 3 times only but sometimes 4 depending on the overnight and a bunch of other logistical things. Im running a few halfs coming up and would like to get the Boston done next year but for now im just staying ready for the halfs.

As for running overseas when it was 120+ I found that once acclimated I would run at 4-5 am or so because it was only 90 degrees or so and it felt pretty good.

There are tons of running resources out there, I've been using this for a while and tune it for runs/races I want to do: Cool Running :: Training Schedules

I'm a cyclist at heart, but he running shoes pack easier.

I run 3-4 times a week as part of my workout routine. Works great for me on a treadmill, but can't run outside for some reason- get short of breath

IMHO running is the best kind of cardio training. It used to take me 3 times more of cycling/elliptical to get the same results as running does.

2-4 miles per week. I've been lacking on running lately, mostly because of laziness and school. I like running over other cardio exercises such as swimming, because you can't carry an I-pod!
