Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Heb 12:11

Hot tips for winter running:

Screwshoes
Poor man's cleats. this works a LOT better than you would think! Very quick and easy.

LittleHotties
Are you cheap like me? Put those little hotties in a ziplock bag and use them again tomorrow!

Kickstart your dead Garmin
Hold down the reset/lap button and the mode button together to get your 205/305/310xt to restart if it won't turn on or if it freezes up.

Nice new pic!

That's the "scary" old one Burt was talking about.

From I Just Run on Sun, Jan 08, 2012 at 22:29:36 from 12.162.141.2

Just read the same verses...:-)

Nice paces too!

Hey RT, I just added you to my "Favorite Blogs". I don't want you to think I'm a stalker or anything, I just like your attitude and beliefs :-) You don't have to feel any obligated to reciprocate :-)

From Steam8 on Mon, Jan 09, 2012 at 19:55:48 from 166.70.55.77

Nice new pic! I am more than a full minute behind you on my runs :(

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 00:14:27 from 67.160.56.253

IJR - Thanks, I've been stalking you a bit lately too. You've got guts; in your sneakers and on the blog. I gotta respect that!

Amy - Burt says I look like I want to hurt people in that pic :) Keep putting those miles in the bank, you know as well as I do that the speed will come with consistence. I bet our finish times will be pretty close in Boston.

From Steam8 on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 00:42:08 from 166.70.55.77

You are right....I bet our finishing times will be the same! ha! I am not a betting woman! Sub 3 is really not possible in my body! haha!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 00:50:28 from 174.253.214.250

Who said anything about a sub 3? I have another marathon to run on 4/29. I'm thinking maybe 3:25 if I want to live through Big Sur.
