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.

Oooh it warmed up to 11°. I'm glad I didn't plan a really long run for this weekend, I don't think I could handle these temps for more than an hour. I'm a generating a lot of laundy with all these layers. I'm sure Kym is glad I'm not running 6 days a week. I'm hoping every other day and a long run every other weekend will be sufficient to maintain where I'm at until a couple months before the Green River Marathon. I feel like I'm up to the BQ task now, but I don't want to pay big $ to run in a winter marathon since Boston reg. is closed for '10.

11 degrees is warm! I knwo it sounds gross...but I just keep hanging my clothes up to dry and then re wear them the next day. They don't stink and even if they did who is going to sniff me? LOL

From Burt on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 11:44:51 from 12.231.112.98

I'll sniff you April. I will.

From Burt on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 11:45:08 from 12.231.112.98

Just kidding :)

April27 - I recycle my sweatpants like that once in a while, but my shirts just get too nasty.

Burt - I can send you one of the those shirts to sniff, but it probably wouldn't be the same :)

From Burt on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 14:15:03 from 12.231.112.98

...hmmmm...let me think about that one...

From Kelli on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 19:01:52 from 71.219.95.151

I sweat like crazy, cold or not. No recycling here! However, the clothes stink even when you wash them, I need to go buy more of that special detergent!!

I wish i could mail you some funeral potatoes, there are the next best thing to tempura veggies!!!'

I think your training plan sounds very smart, and I agree with not spending a ton since darn Boston closed so early.

From april27 on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 22:51:22 from 99.188.251.180

Kelli--what kind of detergent?

Burt--I just may let you! ahahha but you may pass out! hahaha

I buy it at Sports Authority. It is almost $7 for a little bottle, so I do not use it every time, but every few times my clothes need it! It works pretty darn well.

From Kelli on Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 01:22:21 from 71.219.95.151

Oops, I did not see Burt's post, but YEP, that is the stuff.

great minds, Kelli...
