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.
Heb 12:11

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 Mark 7 - Luke 1

Calm, cool and frosty out today. I got harassed by an angry motorist during mile 5. I'm not sure what he was yelling at me for, all I could make out were a few cuss words. He slowed down to my speed about 40 or 50 feet in front of me to share his thoughts after honking his horn at me and eventually drove away as I kept running toward him. I meant to stay at MP or slower today, but I had trouble slowing down after my little adrenaline rush. Thanks for the boost stranger :)

The least he could do was make it clear as to what he was angry with you about!

April - I think he might have been drunk. I'm just as clueless about what Burt just said. Do you think he might be drunk too? :)

I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker.

I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

PSYCHO!!!

When do you leave??? BIB #? I am looking forward to stalking you all monday morning. It is almost as exciting as being there, ALMOST. And boy do I regret that we changed our minds---we may never make it back.

Kelli - I'm already in NY, we're driving to Boston Saturday Morning. I love Central Park, everywhere else is just too busy and crowded for me. It took us 90 minutes to drive 3 miles this morning. I'm looking forward to Amish Country after the race next week :)
