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.

5 laps around Oakbrook today. On the last lap at 20 miles I stopped at the golf shop to get a drink and planned to take it easy and cool down for the last couple miles. Once I got going again, I slipped back into the groove and didn't really think about it until I was home. Smell of the barn I guess...

I just read that you have been sick, sorry to see that, I hope you're doing better. A 10 pound weight loss? wow.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 20:43:13 from 98.247.27.122

Thanks Laputka, I gained it all back in pizza weight this week and I feel healthy as ever now. I didn't like how I felt on my long run today though after a couple really low mileage weeks.

Wowsers that's a lot. Nice run.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 08:44:24 from 174.253.192.67

Thanks nicole. Have you been running? Next Saturday is the 15k in Steilacoom.
