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.

The miles that happen after you want to quit are the ones that matter the most! The last 5k fit that category today.

So, 26.4 miles for the day? And you started at 3:45 AM? You are insane.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 12:21:40 from 98.247.27.122

I blame Preston for the start time. The "plan" was to get in 20 by 6:00am, but "we" were way too slow :)

From Bonnie on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 12:46:25 from 150.135.115.154

3:45? NO WAY! That is insane.

What studs you biker-runners are ;-)

From Derunzo on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:08:10 from 24.218.176.97

Rattle.... you are taking it to a new level. Will you be running Boston this year? I will be spectating for sure.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:14:03 from 174.255.164.4

Bonnie - I'm the only biker/runner I know. We're a rare breed.

Derunzo - I'll be running Boston and Big Sur on the 29th.

From Andrea on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:26:02 from 67.177.21.60

Big mileage! Nice work!

Jake and I have been thinking about Big Sur as well! And we'll definitely have to meet up in Boston.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:32:01 from 174.255.164.4

Let's meet up for sure. Ben and Jerry's?

From Laputka on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:42:24 from 98.202.142.68

A 16'er and a 10'er as a double. This kind of blows my mind.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:51:50 from 174.255.164.4

Laputka - It was supposed to be a solid twenty, but I had a 90 minute break in there so I thought I sould throw in a few extra. Next week I'll try to do 'em all at once so I can stop at 20 :)

From JD on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 19:56:37 from 71.213.33.129

great big miles today!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 02, 2012 at 20:01:25 from 98.247.27.122

Thank JD, way to go on number 68!

From I Just Run on Sat, Mar 03, 2012 at 18:55:20 from 12.162.141.2

This is cool...I must have been sleep running :-) Oh wait, must have been a different Preston.

Maybe the extra energy came from the prayer!!!

From JG on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 10:39:58 from 71.56.87.5

Cool run ... Maybe there is a Ben & Jerry's along the Boston course around Mile 16 where we could stop and have a quick Monday morning prayer meeting! :)
