Good…the addiction has begun…now find your LRS (Local running store) and get a proper set of shoes. Failure to do so will result in hip, shin, back, and foot pain. While your at it, get some good socks, running socks, or you will have blisters on your feet that will make road rash a fond memory. LOL So you ran on Friday, so we need to do this again by Monday, this will help with the muscle soreness. Oh yeah stay on the dirt as it is better for the larger boned, new runner. Sounds like your Alpha Female knows a few things.
Keep us posted…

I ran once…to my bike at the start of the 24 hours of Moab (and it was a disgusting experience).

Fatty, as an ex(ceptionally) untalented runner and now devoted/seen the light cyclist I have some suggestions to make running more natural for you as a cyclist:

1. Dress for comfort (go ahead and wear bike shorts with a chamois, the padded butt really helps soften the a** kickin’ your takin’).

2. As a cyclist your feet no longer flex or bend so go ahead and wear your carbon soled road Sidis. The added stiffness translates to sheer power transferred to the trail or blacktop. Remember cyclists are all about being stiff and rigid, not fluid and flexy.

3. You are called the “FAT Cyclist” for supposedly being fat. How can you possibly stay fat when the shirts you wear as a runner don’t have pockets the size of a 3 car garage on the back of them. Those pockets were meant to hold pie and lots of it. Just think, if you wear a bike jersey you can have easy access to a 3 pie sampler within easy reach. No more waitin’ till the running is done. You could even pretend to “choke” on part of the pie crust and be able to have a legitimate excuse to stop running for the day.

4. Cherry pie works best as a choking tool. Just make sure to drool and dribble “bloody” lung ooze out of your mouth as you eat it. Runners will think you are stroking out and might even carry you down to your car. You can even offer them pie for their efforts.

5. Remember to pedal circles as you run as this will result in oohing and awing from impressed bystanders. The correct technique for a running cyclist is to always remember to scrape the bottom of your shoes as they hit the ground as if you are scraping off mud or dog crap off your shoes. This makes for an awesome peeling out effect especially on gravel in your carbon soled Sidis.

6. At the start of a run always break out some mary jane laced pie for your hyper running buddies. They will suddenly get all laid back and mellow and maybe would rather have a “grassy” siesta/fiesta at the trailhead instead of having a competitive run.

7. Plan your run to be like a decisive Tour “Day” France mountain stage. The run should go uphill in both directions and finish on top of a mountain. NO DESCENDING when you run = good for biker.

8. Get your friggin’ head examined….what kind of self respecting cyclist are you anyway? No one in their right mind really likes to run anywhere but to the bathroom or to the store.
