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.

Swirling vortex of wind resistance. 6 miles out and back + a 4 1/2 mile loop and the wind was in my face every step of the way. It wasn't a strong wind, just enough to blow the rain into my eyes. Goggles would have been nice on this run :)

What a great article! That sounds so fun and beautiful. Good job this morning, now I feel bad for complaining so much! :-)

yes, always wear goggles in the rain.

I loved the video! You can send those my way all the time. I'm jealous of the scenery...I try to make myself still think that corn and sunrise is pretty but somehow it has gotten boring!

Nicole - Don't feel bad for complaining a little, you knocked out 9 miles before most people were even out of bed!

Allie - That just reminded me of those sweet shades I recommended for you :)

April - Corn is beautiful... next to a big juicy steak.

hmmmm steak

I can not stand the wind! Hopefully it was not the infamous stinging rain.

From Snoqualmie on Thu, Sep 09, 2010 at 11:36:47 from 24.18.192.33

Very nice miles today. You must have had more wind than we did because of being near Puget Sound. No fair on the direction change, I agree.
