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.

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.

Total Distance

6.04

7:30am

6 awesome miles in the wind and rain! I have a new little pain in my lower shin today. It's not near where I was injured before so hopefully it will just pass. I'm going to rest tomorrow and run with Preston on Sunday before church.

Running in the rain is fun. Ridning my motorcycle to a bike show in the rain is not :) I just got it all shined up for the Puyallup Mall Bike Show this weekend and now I need to ride it 15 miles to the event without getting it dirty...

Nice splits.

So, how was the mall bike show? I hope it did not rain the entire time. I can see how riding in the rain would not be fun.

Great running, I am glad the major pain is over. I think the MINOR pains just never go away.

So, I have been kind of MIA lately. What are your latest plans?

The mall show was cool. There were only about 30 bikes entered this year. I made it there without getting rained on and my bike won a sweet trophy. For my CMA chapter the show was mostly an outreach opportunity. It was inside the mall so we had 6 of our bikes set up around an information table and several of us just hung out all weekend to talk to people.

I think I have given up on the idea of running CIM. I just can't get my mileage up where it needs to be and I'm going to be too broke to fly or even drive to Sacramento anyway if the deal ever closes on our new condo. I will be running the Resolution Run Series again and hopefully setting some new PRs while getting in shape for the Green River Marathon in June. The only thing better than qualifying for Boston would be doing it in a free marathon :)

You are smart, as always! Your mileage will get back up there, your speed sure has!!!

Good luck with the condo and I am so glad your were inside with the bikes, would have been miserable outside!
