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.

I'm thinking the black ice might speed you up quite a bit on the downhills :-) Nice run...again!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 10:36:02 from 174.253.218.117

The ice was so bad today that I walked to work in my screw shoes.

I'm glad you mentioned the black ice. I was not expecting it to be slick at all, but after I read your post I went out cautiously this morning.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 10:54:29 from 174.253.218.117

I take it you made it home safely. I've never seen it this bad in my neighborhood. I couldn't imagine running on this stuff without my home-made cleats.

From DLTheo on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 10:59:17 from 76.28.161.119

I only went 3 this morning at least. Later I'll run more and it will be warmer and melted by then.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 11:21:29 from 24.18.125.122

It looks like tomorrow is going to be more of the same.

Ran 4 miles today in the 7s! YEEEEHOOOOOOOO!!! Okay, they weren't high 7s, but 7s all the same!!! haha! Nice run as always Rattletrap!

From DLTheo on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 17:42:57 from 155.130.107.41

I'm hoping it is just a tad warmer so there won't be any black ice.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 17:59:44 from 24.18.125.122

Amy - That's awesome! You still got it.

Scott - The forecast says 32 for Lakewood. It was acually 35 when I left this morning, but the wind-chill managed to freeze everything anyway. I thought it would be fine until I almost fell down in my driveway, then I went right back inside to get my screw shoes. I can't say enough about how good those things work.

It says 32 here but seems soo much colder bc of the rain and slush
