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.

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.

5:00am Psalms 50-88

Virtually pacing IJR at a nice 3:15:00 MP and he left me in the dust turning out his first 10k in 45:19(7:18 pace). I think he's going to hang on and really nail a solid early registration qualification time.

I feel pretty good today considering yesterday's race. It was tough to stay on pace going up hill into the wind on Farwest, but the rest was a breeze. I think this is the steadiest pace I've ever kept on this route.

4:30am Psalms 89-119

Perfect winter morning for a run, 31°, dry and not even a hint of a breeze. I ran the same average pace today as I did on Sunday, except today I ran an even effort, hills and all, instead of even splits and my HR was higher. Interesting. Well, at least it is to me.

6:00pm Psalms 120 - Proverbs 13

I felt lazy for skipping my run yesterday and missing my mileage goal for the month so I did another 10 miler after work. If I make it out of bed for my run tomorrow I'll break 200 now.

Solo run the long way home. Lots of energy after the meeting. Maybe it was the vanilla latte?

The miles that happen after you want to quit are the ones that matter the most! The last 5k fit that category today.
