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.

12 miles at an easy pace on the snow covered trails at Point Defiance Park. This was an amazing run and the perfect birthday gift! I met with about a dozen friends and spent a couple hours cruising the trails and followed it up with a smokin' hot Thai dish at my favorite restaurant with my smokin' hot wifey :) Life is good!

The snow turned to rain and the wind was blowing so I did my long run on the dreadmill at Kym's work. It was a little better than the last time I ran on the TM at the Y. They have about 5 of these Woodway things at the PLU Fitness Center:

Easy jog back to the South Albany HS track again for a few laps and back. I got a pretty serious cramp in my left foot on the way back from the track. It feels ok now(Mon morning), But I'm a little nervous to try running on it today :(

4 episodes of Breaking Bad at an easy 9:30 pace. My foot was sore for a while, but loosened up after a few miles.

My foot felt fine yesterday, but I skipped my planned run after work anyway, to finish the last few episodes of Breaking Bad...So good! Today it is feeling tight again. Not sure if I should give it another day or try an easy run after work.

5 easy after work. The pain in my foot was gone, but my ankle was stiff. I feel like some kind of weird, paranoid, pain gremlin is roaming around in there.
