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.

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.

WOW! my fun-meter is still pegged!! Blustery wind, sideways rain, giant puddles, extreme chafage of the nether regions. How much better could it get?

On a side note: My Ragnar Relay team for Northwest Passage is officially registered. Go team "Fly By Night"!! This will be my first ragnar and I'm totally psyched about it. We're a team of orphans who found each other on the teamfinder message board. It should be a lot of fun getting to know some new friends and running together.

Neil Peart is really rockin' that mullet!

i love orphan teams!

hopefully you will not get murdered, like when burt meets new bloggers. i bet you could outrun all of them...

KP - We're not a super competitive team, but we have a couple folks that will be running in the 7's. According to Burt nobody would try to murder me; I'm too scary looking.

From Burt on Fri, May 28, 2010 at 13:10:38 from 206.19.214.144

I hate all the orphans in the world. KP is murdering us all with her good looks. Make sure to put some Icy Hot on the nether regions :)

Burt - You're right about KP and I guess you're right about me too. I MUST be scary looking if I can use winnie the pooh words in my blog and nobody makes fun of me for it. I tried the icyhot, but first I prepped with some rubbing alcohol. How refreshing!! I think I'm ready for another 16 miles now.

I'm totally jealous of the chaffing! LOL ..um and your crazy? icy hot on chaffing on netherreagions??? um nooooo vaseline or even some neosporin!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sat, May 29, 2010 at 12:18:51 from 76.121.76.165

April27 - That's how us scary bikers roll.

No, seriously this is the best stuff in the world for chafing: http://www.buttpaste.com
