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.

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.

This remodel job is kicking my butt! I am sore in places I didn't even know I had. I can't believe how soft I have become since I quit "working" for a living and got into computers. Fortunately, my running muscles were still up to dragging the rest of my tired self around the neighborhood for eight miles. I need to get two more runs in, and get some rest this week before race day.

It was tough getting started today. It did get better after three miles except for the wicked headwind during mile 7. Now if I can just get some rest before Saturday, I might be ready for that 15k.

After 3 weeks of burning the candle at both ends and getting in very little mileage I was not ready to meet my goal (1:03) on this race. The first place guy in my division, Thaine Filkins passed me in the last mile and finished about 30 seconds in front of me. He was second to me in the January 10k so next month's 20k will determine who takes first for the series. I will need to ramp up my mileage for sure if I want to beat this guy. This was still a PR for me so I'm feeling good about that and looking forward to next month. Look out Thaine...
