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.

Long run with Preston today. He was still feeling sick and bailed out at 13. I finished pretty strong considering the wind and sideways rain. I felt kind of bad dragging Preston out in this mess when he wasn't feeling well. Not really bad, just kind of.

Now that I'm done, the sun is out...

Kind of scary, that's a couple thousand lower than last year. I'm gonna be running very low 7's just to be one with the mob for the first few miles.

From I Just Run on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 08:59:40 from 67.79.11.242

Sounds exciting....Hope you run it next year too when I'm there!!! :-)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 15:13:13 from 98.247.27.122

Next year? I'd have to qualify AND win the state lottery.

From Andrea on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 16:55:45 from 74.95.210.210

Nice long run! AND nice race number! Boston will be here before you know it!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 17:59:02 from 98.247.27.122

30 days and counting... Only 3 more long runs!

From Tom Slick on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:01:42 from 69.171.160.65

are you doing the BAA 5K the day before?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:17:16 from 174.253.216.243

Tom - No, I'm saving it all for Monday :)

From Tom Slick on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:22:25 from 69.171.160.65

I'm not really going to be running it, it will be more like a shakedown jog to get loosned up for the big run Monday and I want the t-shirt and BAA 5K medal!

From Tom Slick on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:47:52 from 69.171.160.65

Hey, when you got this years Boston Running jacket, what size did you get and how was the fit. Is the sizeing right or shoud one buy one a bit larger than usual???

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:51:41 from 174.253.216.243

I haven't got mine yet. I got a Large last year and it fit perfect.

From Tom Slick on Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 20:16:02 from 69.171.160.10

In the past I've bought my jacket at the expo because of the sizing issue. So I'll wait till I'm there to get one.
