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.

I get dizzy looking at all the 10's and 7's...

What Great Wolf Lodge are you going to? My company has built some of the water play equipment and feature in some of the Great Wolf Lodges.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 14:45:36 from 98.247.27.122

I'm getting better already. My avg pace was 4 seconds faster and my HR was 1 beat lower than yesterday on the same route. Look out 6's, here I come! We're going to the GWL in Grand Mound, WA.

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:33:48 from 68.14.209.26

My company has taken part in the cover up for building the Great Wolf Lodge over an ancient Indian burial ground. That I peed on.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:40:12 from 174.253.193.222

Is that what that smell is?

From I Just Run on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:52:09 from 67.79.11.242

RT,

Keep improveing at that rate for about 5 months and you'll be a super human ...

No wait, HR/150 - 1 BPM Improvement per day for 3 Months = HR/0. Better not try that!

Burt, How could you say that in public?

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:54:32 from 68.14.209.26

I have a superiority complex. I feel like I'm above the law.

From I Just Run on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:56:10 from 67.79.11.242

Hey Burt,

I've been meaning to ask, which Texan are beating in your current profile picture. You know most of us Texans wear orange shirts...?

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:57:31 from 68.14.209.26

Ha! I'm pretty sure you know that's Flatlander. And I wasn't beating him. I was running the last 3 miles of his half marathon with him.

From I Just Run on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 16:58:44 from 67.79.11.242

Ha ha...I really didn't know that. Don't tell him I made the joke :-)

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:06:45 from 68.14.209.26

He would be so mad about even the thought that I could beat him.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:07:59 from 174.253.193.222

Have you thought about joining the Marines Burt? Did I say that outloud?...

From I Just Run on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:10:38 from 67.79.11.242

I think he already is a Marine...Haven't you noticed his hair cut?

From Burt on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 17:12:47 from 68.14.209.26

It's a wig.

From april27 on Thu, Feb 09, 2012 at 20:07:32 from 99.188.251.180

Burt should stop peeing on and/ or around grave sites. They will haunt you! Indians can do that!

25 miles on the TM? Ew ew ew

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 01:22:32 from 174.253.193.81

Burt = #1

Who said anything about 25 miles?

From Derunzo on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 10:36:01 from 24.218.176.97

Have a cold I.P.A after your 125 miles on the treadmill.

From Steam8 on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 10:51:18 from 166.70.55.77

I'm with IJR....the 10s and 7s make me feel dizzy and a little jealous to boot! I do love just looking at that jacket EVERY time I get on your page!! Yeeeehoooooooooooo BOSTON here we come!!!!

From I Just Run on Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 11:15:33 from 166.147.77.89

Hey Steam,

Did you have to rub it in about Boston? I think I'm the only person on the Blog who hasn't qualified :-(

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 14:36:13 from 174.253.195.9

Greatwolf was fun for the first day. It ended terribly with the whole family getting violently ill. Bedridden for two days now, only able to get up long enough to crawl to the toilet. Sooo glad we have three bathrooms...

From Burt on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 20:07:50 from 72.223.93.158

Sorry dude.

From april27 on Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 20:25:09 from 99.188.251.180

I'm glad you have that many bathrooms too

From Steam8 on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 21:33:21 from 166.70.55.77

IJR...it won't be long! It was a flat out miracle that I qualified!!!
