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.

4:30am Judges 17 - 1Samuel 8

I've been sick since Saturday night and I'm still not feeling well. It was tempting to just stay in bed today. I think the hills in my neighborhood also got bigger while I was away for the weekend.

4:30am 1Samuel 9-24

Still feeling sick and both ankles were really stiff and sore today, I hope it is just another symptom of this bug I got. Cardio-wise this was a really easy effort, but my legs were not happy.

9 miles with Preston before his prayer and coffee meeting with another friend where he asked me to join them. I was ready for a break and had a great time of fellowship and prayer just when I really needed it! Thanks for the coffee too Preston! Avg. 7:21

7:20am 1Samuel 25 - 2Samuel 18

The coffee shop is about 2 miles from my house and by the time I got close to home I had warmed up a little and decided to go around Gravelly Lake before I finished for the day. I didn't expect to feel so good with a vanilla latte sloshing around in my belly. I may have even kept going for a lap around Oakbrook if my face wasn't so numb on the way back from the lake. The last 5 miles was freezing cold! I accidentally spit on myself once because I couldn't feel my lips at all. Avg. 7:17
