    Yep, and they are doing major construction on Fuqua near me (okay, they have been for what seems like eons now) which adds to the flooding and mess!

    I can't stand all that construction by that Walgreens on Fuqua at Sabo!

    They have been doing who knows what for aaaaages from Sabo all the way past Clearwood/Blackhawk - I'm sure they're doing *something* because lane closures keep changing, but I really can't tell what, especially since it's been drawn out for so long (I got an email from COH Public Works and Engineering saying completion was scheduled for early 2011 maybe?) :yawn:

    I think we're getting near the temperature threshold where I need to be sweating at the beach and not on the way to work :sick:

    Work up? Just get out there and do it. I was never a runner, not even when I was young and in shape. I started Couch to 5K last summer, took my time getting through it, repeated many weeks and am now using the Bridge to 10k app!

    I just started doing the Couch to 5K myself too but I was advised by my doctor to work up to running because I have an previous leg injury from a really bad rollover accident.

    Couch to 5K is a great plan!! Is it what your doctor suggested you use?

    My doctor recommend it but she told me to take my time to avoid my leg from acting up.

    Hey all! I'm in the Houston area. I just moved to Kingwood last month from Midtown (and moved to Texas just a few years ago). I don't know anyone and would love to have friends on here to support one another/vent and maybe even support outside of the site! Feel free to add me!

    Hey all! I'm in the Houston area. I just moved to Kingwood last month from Midtown (and moved to Texas just a few years ago)..
    How was the adjustment? I live in the suburbs close to Clear Lake, but I'd love to live in Midtown....I think.

    The adjustment was really quick love my new place. Can't beat the commute to work (montrose). I live in a more industrial area where it is mostly old boarded up warehouses so I never have traffic around my house which is awesome.

    I looked at some places in midtown but how much house my dollar could buy there turned me off.

    Please please please don't call it "Eado" :smile:

    I used to live in Midtown (and Montrose and a zillion other places!) and work at Rice. It was pretty awesome. Except for being an eternal renter (or being eternally house poor). My SO started working waaaaaaay down south so we bought a house that was halfway in between. Now we both work other places but the house is still a halfway mark, just in opposite directions!

    I don't call it "Eado" lol my realtor did though.

    I was looking into renting also and my parents talked me out of it. Rents are crazy in the area. They are building apartments over on washington less than 2 miles from me. Rents will range from $1,209 to $1,959 on units between 708 and 1,250 square feet.

    Lol I bought a 2,100 sq ft brand new construction townhome and my mortgage is $1,100/mo. Rent out a bedroom for $1,000 a month.

    It has gone fairly well moving from Midtown to Kingwood myself. I still haven't met anyone though. Midtown is nice but pretty expensive now. Construction is also all around right now so it's a bit crazy. I like that I don't have that here. I love having a porch.

    I guess I should post on this thread! I live down near Clear Lake, address is Friendswood, but I'm really just off 45. I work in and around Houston (drive around a lot for work). Have lived in Houston area for 25 years.

    Good to see some familiar faces on these boards living so close to me.

    Hello, Hello!!! I'm down in Sugar Land/Missouri City Area. Just trying to shape up and get fit. I can only run in 5 minute intervals right now. Good luck everyone!


    Hey there, I'm in the area and just started the c25k app and have made great improvements. I'm training now for my first 5k in Nov. The firefly run at Reliant if that one goes good then I'll do the color run Nov. 11 downtown
