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.

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.

I ignored my garmin today and just tried to focus on controlled breathing and a strong last mile. My heart rate was way down compared to usual.

I finished cutting the last piece of trim last night and returned my friend's chopsaw, painting is almost done, appliances will be delivered tomorrow and we move in this weekend!!

I listened to Romans and tried my best to focus on keeping an even effort today. My mind just kept wandering to the move this weekend and my endless todo list...

This is the first time I've ran four days in a row since last summer and it was really hard to get motivated. I almost convinced myself that I deserved a day off with all the moving and everything, but then I imagined Thaine Filkins congratulating me on my second place finish in the upcoming 20k... needless to say I got motivated and ran.

On A "lighter" note, I weighed in at 161.2 after my run. I haven't been that low since 10th grade. I think I need to eat more.

...back to the move....
