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.

Sounds biblical.

Hey! So have you ever been to Redmond WA? My husband has been interviewed twice for a job there. Scary!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Feb 06, 2013 at 09:12:55 from 24.17.146.10

Redmond - Home of the Marymoor Velodrome and Microsoft campus. The commute is a drag if you don't live close, but I would love to live and work there!

My husband interviewed at Microsoft Rattle! LOL!

I have never lived anywhere but Utah (except Tucson AZ for 3 months). I would be sad to leave here. Plus, doesn't it just rain a ton there? I don't know if I could handle it! :) ha ha

It's a dry rain. You'll love it.

I did my long run in a dry rain yesterday. Came back drier than I left.

Lily, it only rains some of the time. Other times it drizzles, sometimes it showers and sometimes it sprinkles. Washingtonians have 37 different words for rain.

Hey Mike! Will I see you at the last Resolution Run (March 23rd at 9 AM)?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 21:29:12 from 24.19.80.36

Probably not, Carl. My race budget is non-existent this year. I am already registered for TCM, but after 6 months of slacking it's not going to be a PR kind of race.

From Carl on Fri, Mar 08, 2013 at 04:24:03 from 216.161.240.70

Cool! I am planning on doing TCM as well. Although I'm not registered and haven't been training very much.

I take it that you are not injured anymore?
