Just some information for anyone looking, I recently met a guy that is a College Scholarship Cross Country runner and my first question was, what kind of shoes do you where?
Brooks Adrenaline
I had only recently heard of this brand when a friend of mine that started running was prepping for his first 10K and went to a store dedicated to running and they recommended him to get a pair of Brooks and he loves them. Most major general type shoe stores don't sell them so you'd have to go to a store dedicated to running I think.
Had to run on the treadmill today because of 40ºC temperatures and then thunderstorms. Did hill training and had the tv on, but it was still boring as all get out!! I hate the treadmill... Still, the workout was good, so I'm glad for the run.
Iffy, yay for finding your favourite shoes! I have flat, wide feet, so it often takes me forever to find a good pair. The pair I have right now are brilliant - I'm thinking I'll take them in with me when the time comes to look for a new pair.

Professor_S - I have such high arches finding shoes is challenging so I tend to stick to what works for me.
3 miles today with a mile of 30/30s. Cool and misting out today.
Sweet! I love interval training - kicks the crap outta me every time! And I have to say, I'm jealous of your weather; that's perfect for running.

It was a little on the too muddy side at times, but temperature was really nice. Although everyone is a bit sun starved still. Winter was very cloudy and spring and now the beginnings of summer are very cool and cloudy.

Yay!! Feels awesome getting back to it, eh.

Really does. On leave at the moment as well, which means I'm able to revisit some of the cross-country routes around where my family live. I hate road running, so it's fantastic to be out on dirt tracks and stuff.

Am I ever jealous! I try to get out on the trails when I can, but for the most part, I run amidst the malls and monotonous housing that populate suburbia. I always find that the dirt roads are kinder to my knees and ankles too.

I haven't been running much lately, but I just got my treadmill in today, and I'm going to start using it daily. I'll also have plenty of time this summer, so I plan to do a Stargate re-watch/audio commentary at the same time.
