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.

you amaze me with your 4:30 business~

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 21:08:03 from 76.121.76.165

Nobody needs me for anything at 4:30am. I am freeee to run...

From Kelli on Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 22:43:09 from 71.219.97.85

You amaze me with your paces, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL. You are really incredible, really!

From Kam on Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 18:20:26 from 68.66.163.179

Good looking run! Boston awaits....

From Kam on Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 18:22:07 from 68.66.163.179

What is your Boston goal?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 20:58:29 from 75.196.88.23

Kelli - Thanks. It feels good to amaze an amazing athlete! Your comments have been a source of inspiration for me since I joined this blog and set my sights on Boston. Are you still sending those cookies with Jose?

Kam - My goal was 3:10, but since taking all the time off in February for my lame calf, I've revised it to just finishing strong. A PR would be sweet, but I'm just gonna go with whatever feels good and try to enjoy the whole Beantown experience.

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 22:58:28 from 71.219.97.85

It really is a great course, one of my favorites. The hills are NOTHING, I am not sure why they are made out to be such a big deal. You will love it and you will do great. Just soak it all in.

Are you planning on meeting up with Jose? I can surely send cookies, they might get mooshed in his luggage! He is staying with family, I should just tell his wife to make you a fresh batch!

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 22:59:34 from 71.219.97.85

OH, and thanks for the nice comments. All it does is make me sad I will not be there to finally meet you. Guess we will have to do the Ragnar in your neighborhood!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 00:22:55 from 75.196.88.23

I wasn't planning on doing it again, but if you guys do the Northwest Passage Ragnar you can count on me as a teammate and you'll have a place to stay.

From Kelli on Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 10:15:27 from 71.219.97.85

You didn't like it??

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 10:49:18 from 75.196.88.23

I loved it, but it was just so expensive! I would rather do Hood to Coast next, but I wouldn't pass up a chance to run with you and Scott if you're doing NWP.

From Kelli on Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 13:20:14 from 71.219.97.85

I would rather do Hood to Coast as well! We have tried for two years to get in, this past year we even tried with two different teams. We will give it a go again next year!
