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.

Run to the hills, run for your lives...

I had this song stuck in my head this morning for my entire run. I ran 5 miles out Boundary Cone Road at about a 1-2% incline so the return trip was a breeze. Later on I found out the "Iron Maidens" were doing a free concert at the Avi Casino so we checked it out and they sucked :( They didn't even play Run To The Hills before we decided to leave.

Tomorrow is Cheap Trick at the Aquarious casino. That should be much better.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!!!

What sounds like fun? The bad concert, the other concert, or the uphill run?

From Kelli on Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 14:35:01 from 71.219.75.178

The upcoming concert and the HILLS, of course!!!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 03:27:49 from 24.121.237.164

Cheap Trick rocked! They played all their hits and some new stuff too. What a great show!

The Furnace is teaming up with The Iron Maidens. I was thinking of going and watching.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 23:16:35 from 75.213.56.41

You should go. I think they were actually pretty good, but their mixer really sucked. The drums and bass totally drowned out the vocals and lead guitar. We were there for the first show too so it probably got better as they warmed up and fine tuned things. At least I hope it did :)

From Burt on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 23:20:47 from 98.177.220.145

Of course I'd be going mostly to watch The Furnace. You'll remember them from that YouTube video I posted earlier this year.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 23:54:04 from 24.121.237.164

yeah, that was a great song and a cool video too.

From Kelli on Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 01:06:18 from 71.219.75.178

See, I knew it would be fun!
