I have been gradually increasing my running mileage and today hit 10K (6.4 miles), which although not amazing is at least flirting with respectability.
Amazing or not, it's far enough.
I've resorted to running in winter myself, in past years. Might do it again this year. I don't mind riding in the rain, but somehow running for an hour in the cold and wet sucks marginally less than riding, sometimes. And I have a theory that it's good to use the leg muscles in a different way. People who ride gazillions of miles every year and do nothing else end up unable to run at all.
