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

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.

If the fog gets any thicker I might have to add some lights to my reflective gear. At least there's no traffic to contend with this early in the morning. My time was slower than yesterday, but still an improvement over all of last week.

It was tough to get moving this morning. No sleep Tuesday night and very little last night. I had a hard time staying focused on my run and couldn't keep an even pace. I finished with about the same time as Tuesday, but it seemed to take a lot more effort. I'm planning to sleep in tomorrow and get lots of rest before race day. We'll see how that plan goes...

This was the second race in the 2009 Resolution Run Series. My goals today were to beat my previous 10k PR and maybe even finish at a sub-7 minute pace. The first half of the course felt really good and I was on target with a time of 21:21 at the turn around point. The second half was a lot more difficult and although I didn't have any serious aches or pains, my legs felt really heavy and my lungs felt like I was dragging them behind me. On mile five I passed an old guy (probably in his late 50s) that has been kicking my butt in this race for 5 years and that gave me the boost I needed to hold my pace through to the end. I finished in 42:40 with a negative split by 2 seconds. I met my goals today, smashed my previous 10k PR by over 3 minutes and nothing hurts...yet.

Pace: 6:52
