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.

Nice to see some miles! I'm finally on the down side of my problem (except for the other foot I have to have operated on).

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Jun 03, 2016 at 17:23:52 from 98.203.229.149

Oh no, another operation? Good luck with that. I wish I hadn't done my last one. I think it made it worse.

I'm finally starting to bounce back. I've been able to run once a week for over a month now.

From I Just Run on Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 08:44:25 from 108.178.73.170

Hope you're still running...?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 10:07:57 from 97.126.39.89

Still 5M once a week just to keep my sanity. Not getting any better or worse.

From Tom Slick on Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 06:46:57 from 168.179.159.166

It's August rT, what Up with you?

From Tom Slick on Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 10:06:47 from 168.179.159.166

It's almost October brO-rAtTLeTrAp, did the big eagle swoop down and pluck you from the face of the earth?

From Tom Slick on Sun, Apr 16, 2017 at 10:01:53 from 174.148.164.241

Hey bRo-rAtLeTrAp,It's Apr 16, '17 and it's been along time since I've heard from you and what's going on in your life. What's up?

From Tom Slick on Tue, May 02, 2017 at 12:39:41 from 173.149.230.47

Hey bRo-rAtLeTrAp,It's May 2, '17 and it's been along time since any of us have heard from you and what's going on in your life. What's up?

From Tom Slick on Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 10:46:20 from 174.148.109.163

Hey you! Are you thinking about doing the Boston 2018?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 11:33:04 from 172.56.42.145

Hey Slick! Sorry I didn't respond you the earlier messages. I did not get any notifications from them. I'm sloooowly getting back to it. I did 3 five milers two weeks in a row this month. Still a long way from Boston for sure. What are you up to? I haven't been reading the blog for a while.

From Tom Slick on Thu, Oct 05, 2017 at 09:05:47 from 174.148.77.213

What's up RtrAp?

From Tom Slick on Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 11:57:59 from 173.117.242.72

From Tom Slick on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 18:00:34 from 173.117.222.4

are you doing Boston in 20 days?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 18:07:34 from 172.56.42.124

Never really bounced back after that ankle surgery. Still just a few miles here and there when my daughter wants to run with me.

No races at all on my radar, but my pool game is on point. Lol.

From Tom Slick on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 21:52:27 from 66.87.126.138

Sorry to hear your return to your full Running glory has been hampered, keep up the great fight . God helps those who help themselves! Work it back to good health and be ready for Boston 2019!!!! I’ve got a great pool table here at home and your always welcome here for a game or so.....

From Tom Slick on Mon, Jul 09, 2018 at 14:20:49 from 174.148.211.188
