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.

Hey Mike, it was good to see/meet you at Four on the 4th! So, you are running 3 times today?

Good seeing you there too. Do you remember the name of the site they said the results would be posted on? It was something other than runfsrc.com.

Yes, my "plan" is to run three 6 milers today. I'm trying to gear up for the ragnar relay later this month. I've never run more than twice in a day and I've only done that a couple times.

Looking for 3 of 3...and I have to say you are slightly insane for running in 89 degree weather! I REALLLLY hate heat!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Jul 09, 2010 at 02:06:56 from 76.121.76.165

April - That second run in the afternoon was definitely the hardest! I almost wimped out on the third one; I've been working all day in the heat sanding my "new" patio furniture and was literally dozing off at the dinner table around 9:00pm. I think I actually fell asleep on my feet for a bit during mile 2, but it got better from there and I feel great now that it's done :)

From april27 on Fri, Jul 09, 2010 at 07:54:39 from 99.188.251.180

Wow you did your last .29 faster than the first two! Great job! and I'm imagining you falling asleep during mile 2 hahaha!

From KP on Fri, Jul 09, 2010 at 10:36:06 from 65.208.22.25

wow. lots of miles today.
