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.

5:00am Haggai 1 - Matthew 21

Last long training run done! I feel like a million bucks except for a little road rash. At 8 miles I tripped over a piece of pipe laying on the sidewalk. I must have been moving pretty fast because I rolled twice once I hit the concrete. I lost a little skin from both elbows, right shoulder, right hip, and left hand. I turned around at that point to head home. By the time I got back to my neighborhood the pain had subsided and I felt like I had just barely warmed up so I did the 5 mile Oakbrook loop at just under marathon pace to see how long I could hang on. The pace was manageable and I think I could have held out quite a bit longer if I was doing 7:15s. Now I'm thinking my original goal may still be possible if the conditions are right on raceday. Boston here I come!

Some bloggers are meeting in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel at 6pm on Saturday the 16th if you haven't heard yet. Hope to see you there if you're going to Boston!

Can I call you Crash now?

No one's as tough as you.

I need to put myself in a protective bubble for the next ten days so I don't get injured again!

Wow I swear all your falls and ouchies are awesome!

Oh and I'm looking at your profile pic and feeling jealous that you look like a runner/warrior...I just got some race photos on the internet and I look like I'm in pain. I was hoping for a new race photo...sigh...

April - I have had some epic falls for sure. I wonder how it looks to passers by when a runner trips, tucks and rolls on concrete and comes up still running? I hope it looks cooler than it feels. I have to agree about my profile pic. I love that photo, mostly because it doesn't look anything like me :) It's the only good running pic ever captured of me.

From april27 on Fri, Apr 08, 2011 at 23:21:06 from 99.188.251.180

Okay you are allowed to have one way cool running pic!

From Burt on Fri, Apr 08, 2011 at 23:39:11 from 72.223.90.79

April, did you really just tell me that there's photos of you on-line?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Apr 08, 2011 at 23:46:19 from 69.96.168.2

Uh oh...

From april27 on Sat, Apr 09, 2011 at 09:38:45 from 99.188.251.180

Burt--thought about it after I said it. Oh well...I like to live dangerously LOL

at 6pm I'll probably still be at the Airport. Thanks for the invite. Nice run you did here, impressive. I'd say you're ready! I've done the tuck and roll on three different occasions, but never a double. I'm in awe.

If I trip I usually land flat on my face. And then I take the time to stop the stopwatch before anything else.
