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.

19 miles on the suburban assault bicycle today. I'm kicking myself now for not riding all last week. I assumed it would aggriavte my injury so I wasted a whole week of potential cross training! I managed to keep my heart rate up to running levels and I rediscovered a few leg muscles I had long forgotten about. The good news is that my calf actually feels better than when I started! It may take a while to get my running mileage back up, but at least I can do something while I'm waiting on this dumb calf muscle.

Big workout, "slacker style" at the YMCA.

1 mile warmup on the track. Didn't feel good, but it was bearable.

65 minutes on the recumbant bike avg. HR 161

1 mile on the track. Felt better than the first one, but still not good

65 minutes on my old friend the Precor AMT machine avg. HR 162 This hour went by really fast compared the one on the bike. I could feel that calf muscle more than usual, but it wasn't really painful.

1 mile on the track. This one was about the same as the second mile. meh....

Total workout time: 2 hours and 34 minutes
