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.

More hills. I got a little carried away and did Farwest x3 and Steilacoom x2. I can think of worse reasons to be late for work.

This should make tomorrow's long run interesting.

Those hills look intense! Oh, is that an exaggerated scale?

Sorry Burt, scales don't exaggerate :)

Does that have anything to do with my being little comment?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 15:01:45 from 69.99.231.17

I used to love to run in the Glove Run race each December. It started just like all the Resolution runs do, but instead of turning right on Steilacoom it went straight up Farwest. Nothing like a killer hill to wake you up in the morning!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 17:37:12 from 69.99.231.17

I ran the Glove Run twice before they stopped doing it. It was a fun course.

From allie on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 23:33:55 from 174.23.197.101

it appears you ran through the rocky mountains this morning. nice job.

good luck with your long run tomorrow.

Thanks allie, I survived the "long" run today.
