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.

Another easy run after 3 days off. There appears to be a trend developing here. I ran into Preston and chatted for a few minutes during the last split.

Did The Furnace ever hook you up?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 18:15:33 from 24.18.125.122

I got a FB message from Toby saying welcome to the Furnace family.

From Burt on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 18:18:44 from 206.19.214.144

Oh my gosh! How cool is that? You are so hooked up!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 18:42:02 from 24.18.125.122

I know, right? I'm seriously thinking about printing it out and having it bronzed and dipped in guacamole!

From Burt on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 18:45:36 from 206.19.214.144

LOL!

Did Kym come up with that one for you? Because that was funny.

From baldnspicy on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 21:58:39 from 72.77.67.247

1) Oh my gosh, I can't believe you really did it!! http://baldnspicy.fastrunningblog.com/blog-Happy-Birthday-to-my-nephew-Steve-who-/09-07-2011.html

2) Of course Kym came up with it, Burt. Geeks are only funny to other geeks.

From Burt on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 22:35:50 from 72.223.91.148

I can't believe I didn't catch that.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 22:56:20 from 24.22.239.183

It wasn't Comedianne Kym, but I can not take credit either. I got it from one of my favorite sbemails:

Just to prove point #2 above, have I told you how there's only 10 types of people in the world? Those that understand binary and those that don't. Haha (snort) I crack myself up!

Here's more for your nerdy enjoyment: http://www.electronicsweekly.com/blogs/electronics-weekly-blog/2009/04/the-worlds-largest-collection-of-binary-jokes.html

My wife is telling me to put away my "nerd humor" now - it's too late and no one gets it anyways. ;-)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 19:06:01 from 24.22.239.183

Burt - I said thanks to Toby and let him know that my friend Burt McCumber told me about The Furnace and he never responded back again. Apparently dropping your name wasn't a very good idea ;)

From Burt on Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 19:16:43 from 72.223.91.148

Ouch. Yeah. I should have warned you about that.
