ago I fell while running and have not run outside since. However, today I did manage 45 minutes on the treadmill averaging 6mph (walked 2 minutes within the 45 minutes). Hopefully in the next week or so I will attempt to run outside. I am actually almost liking having to go the gym now since I get to watch tv there. The house I am living in does not have cable and the antenna can be flaky, especially in bad weather. The house also does not have a dryer so I have to go the laundromat to dry my clothes. The bright side to that is that there is also cable there.
So I have concluded after living in a house for 3 or so weeks (and listening to my friends in Austin who own homes) is that I do not want to be a homeowner. I do not want to responsible for mowing the lawn (which I had to do yesterday instead of doing homework) or pest control. At the very least, I will never buy an older home. I do not want to go into the basement and walk through a bunch of spiderwebs and then see huge spiders and other icky insects.
Totals for the week:
Biking - 5.5 hrs (approximately) 85 miles
Treadmill - 2hrs25minutes
Elliptical - 3hrs20minutes
Swimming - 12364 meters (+ maybe another 2500m today)
The silver lining to not running is that I think my swimming has gotten somewhat better and my biking has improved since last year, at least in the cornfields. Last summer I remember averaging 13 mph, 12mph with wind, and so far since I've been back I've been doing 15.5-16mph and it only dropped to 14.7mph yesterday with winds of around 15mph and gusts around 30mph.

Sounds like you are settling in there in the cornfields. Good luck with your semester AND your running!
I don't want to be a homeowner either. I can barely stand doing the dishes and taking out the trash at the apt. =_=
Do you have any roommates this year?
