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.

Today I saw a white bunny in the park. We always have hundreds of little short eared brown ones running around, but this little guy was white with floppy ears. He must have been someone's escaped pet. Or maybe I was just imagining it. I don't remember falling down a hole...

Man, they look so young to me now!

I was thinking ALICE myself with all of that white rabbit talk.

Nice work out MiKE! Great paces as always.

Grace Slick was 27 at that time and so beautiful. I love her voice almost as much as Stevie Nicks. Surrealistic Pillow is my favorite JA album.

I'm still working on those splits. Eventually I want to knock out a 10 or maybe even a 20 miler with 5 or less seconds difference between my fastest and slowest miles.

Sam will be so glad to hear you're blogging about bunnies now, too.

From Kelli on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 16:15:50 from 71.219.93.114

No one beats Stevie Nicks.

I could not perform a run that consistent, so what you do now is very impressive!!!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 16:55:06 from 75.230.59.233

Impressive would be finding that same groove somewhere down in the 6's. I've got a long ways to go for that.

From Kelli on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 19:02:03 from 71.219.93.114

That would just be MORE impressive.
