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.

Bike ride really stunk

Not from rain or any pain

I can't feel my junk

From JD on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 11:47:33 from 70.96.78.149

numb junk? this too shall pass.

hope your body is enjoying the break.

From I Just Run on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 16:16:56 from 67.79.11.242

No junk no worry

Relax don't hurry

Back you'll be

Just wait and see

From DLTheo on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 16:20:56 from 155.130.107.41

Another beautifully written haiku by the Rattletrap. Don't worry, your junk will be rattling again soon.

I'm rightfully glum

You would be disheartened too

If your groin went numb

From I Just Run on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 17:10:08 from 166.147.72.16

I get numb on my tool

It doesn't feel cool

It happens when biking

And its sure not exciting

I'll probably get kicked off the blog for that one:-)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 17:32:00 from 174.253.195.131

JD - for the record, it did pass. Even 2 minutes of that is way too much though.

Scott - Thanks. I'm shakin' rattlin' and rollin' already.

IJR - You're cracking me up! Sounds like you know what I'm talking about :)

From Burt on Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 11:48:36 from 72.223.80.89

My legs hurt so bad

And so does my butt crack

But at least all is well

With my nut sack

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 11:51:23 from 24.19.80.36

Burt - Poor Haiku form, but you made me LOL

From Burt on Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 11:55:09 from 72.223.80.89

I know. I know. The thing is, I actually wrote a poem on my bike yesterday, but it wasn't this. Unfortunately, the only phrase I could remember was nut suck, but at the time, it sounded brilliant.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Mar 24, 2013 at 11:59:18 from 24.19.80.36

I know, right? They usually sound a lot better in my head on the bike, but I share them anyway. It's my way of punishing the one's who didn't have to suffer with me on the ride.
