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.

This was the hardest run I've had this year! I just got a tetanus shot and my shoulder is killing me. They said it would be sore, but this is ridiculous. Anyway, about mile 15 the pain in my shoulder seemed to have spread to my other arm and both legs. I was so fatigued that all my limbs were achy and felt like they weighed 100 lbs each. I wasn't all that tired, I just felt heavy and very cold. I managed to finish my 20, but it took me forever to warm up afterwards and just walking upstairs to the shower was a chore. I don't know if it had anything to do with the shot or just that I wasn't rested and fueled enough for a 20 miler, but I'm glad it's over. Since then I've taken a nap, watched a movie, got a massage, had some food and I feel great! I love 3 day weekends!

Nice running! When's the next marathon? You're definitely on pace for a BQ.

April - Good luck on your 17. That's a long one for sure!. I hope you have a better time than I did this week :)

Rockness - I just registered for Eugene, May 2. I was going to run Green River on June 5 but they had to change the course so it won't be a qualifier this year. I hear Eugene is cool, but I'm a little nervous about moving it up a month.
