Definately if your going to lift you want to do some kind of a warm up first (run a mile or two, or ride the bike, or elipitical -however you spell it)... But I think the problem comes if your planning on lifting heavy and also want to run 5 or 6 on the same day....at which time I would recommend you do first what is more important to you. I would normally run my normal 5 or 6 miles and then lift, but I might poop out when trying to lift....but for me that is better the lifting heavy and then getting too tired to run.....

TRIing to beat the heat!
I do weights separately so that it won't affect my swim, bike and run workouts since my weights are supposed to be supplementary to them. I space them out so if I do a long run in the am, I may do upper body weights later in the day/evening type thing. Just a thought.....
