Have you run to work lately? I'm about ten miles from work, and is have to go down a normally busy county highway to get here. But they're closing the bridge this summer, and I expect that will choke off much of the traffic. It might be a nice run.
I ran home from work twice in February, about nine miles, but don't really have time in the morning to do it both ways, even though I'm now working about five miles from home. I really hope to get some long training in before this fall, but don't see a way to make that happen without an alarm clock and head lamp, two tools that require more motivation than I've been able to muster.
Running 10 miles to work sounds like something that might be fun on occasion, but I can see that taking a toll on the knees pretty quickly. That said, I sometimes wish I lived a mile or so from work and that I lived in a walkable part of the city. I would kill to be able to walk to work on nice days, even in the winter.
Yeah, it would definitely be a once a week thing, tops. I'd probably drive to work with my bike in the back and bike home the first day, then run to work and drive home the next. Where I work is rural but still close to town. I'd love to live near here both for the convenience to work and the open spaces. But since it's close to town, property values are kind of high.
