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:

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.

Nice lookin' splits on that run. Are you gettin' excited about returning to the "BOSTON '12"? Hey, you've got 42 more days and then it's all done but the crying! Do I dare predict that you could be doing a sub 3 at Boston????? You've got the good karma thing going good!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 15:14:45 from 174.253.217.192

42 days! That sounds even sooner than 6 weeks :) Yes, I'm getting excited. I don't expect to be attempting a sub 3 though, with Big Sur looming only 13 days later there could be a LOT of crying going on.

From Tom Slick on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 15:26:34 from 69.171.160.196

Oops, I missed that 13 day turn around for Big Sur. You will have to tell me all about Big Sur, it's one run I've been looking at for a long time. I'll bet it's a lot like Surf City USA which tells me that you're gunna love it....except for the 2 week short change!!!!Lets all try to meet up at Boston....Theres a bunch of us staying at the Raddison......

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 15:53:52 from 174.253.217.192

The Raddi$on!? I'd love to meet up with you there. Is the FRB gang having dinner at the Empire Garden again?

I'll be staying out in Salem this year. The North Shore Striders got a discount on a block of rooms at the Hawthorne. It's a long way from the all the action in Boston, but they also got a sweet charter bus to take us to Hopkinton on raceday. It goes right to the start village from Salem and we can hang out on the warm bus with our own private onboard restroom until the start of the last wave.

From Tom Slick on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 16:16:03 from 69.171.160.196

Sweet deal - I haven't heard yet whee dinner will be. I will PM my ph# to you so we can talk in Boston.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 16:19:50 from 174.253.217.192

Great!

Hey, did you notice that the finisher's jacket is Harley Davidson colors this year? I'm diggin' it!

From Tom Slick on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 16:27:47 from 69.171.160.196

Thats this years Boston Jacket? Thats Cool, looks like Bostons gunna get more money out of me!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 04, 2012 at 16:32:21 from 174.253.217.192

Yeah, it's embroidered this year too. I might buy two of 'em.

From I Just Run on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 07:57:59 from 67.79.11.242

Hey RT,

That second jacket wouldn't happen to be for me :-) would it? Ahhh...you don't have too....

From Tom Slick on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 08:13:11 from 69.171.160.165

I wonder if they will have enough of them so I can buy one while I'm in Boston. If I buy it now I will just wear it before I run the 2012?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 09:06:44 from 24.18.125.122

Tom - I'm sure there will be plenty to go around.

IJR - You'll need to wait for the 2013 version, I hear it's going to be yellow with blue polka dots :)

From I Just Run on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 14:50:58 from 67.79.11.242

Ahhh but orange is my favorite color :-)

From Steam8 on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 at 23:22:04 from 166.70.55.77

Neeiiiiccceee! I don't think I will see you at all in Boston. You will be back and taking a nap by the time I cross the finish line! :(
