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.

The miles seemed to go by fast this morning. I could have easily done another 5 or 10. My next run will be in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico :)

On the beach?

Hope your trip is going well!

Hey Mexico boy! No internet over there? My wife says we can never move to WA. Too many of her crazy family members live there.

The wedding was beautiful and the rest of the trip was great. Running was slow in the humidity but I managed to log 39 miles. I'll catch up my blog and post some pictures when I get home from ragnar. I'm at LAX right now waiting for my flight to Seattle. I should arrive there at 11:30pm and will be leaving for the start line in Blaine at 6:00am. Wish me luck, it's going to be a long day...

You will be having so much fun you will not even feel tired!

From Burt on Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 00:12:59 from 68.225.214.248

Good luck! Have a good time. I hope the flight doesn't get delayed.
