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

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.

9:00am Psalms 47 - 87

I stayed home sick yesterday and was in bed pretty much all day except when I got called to help reset a network switch from home. I was feeling pretty good after sleeping in again this morning so I figured I'd do my run and go in for a half day. I took the same route as Monday, but it felt like it was uphill the whole way this time. I ran about the same pace with a lot more effort. I hope I feel a  little stronger tomorrow. I really need to get a long run in...

8:00am Psalm 88 - Proverbs 8

First long run in what seems like forever! My foot was aching for the first mile until that stupid nerve managed to tuck itself in somewhere out of the way. After that it was smooth sailing until about 13 miles, then it started to bug me quite a bit, but it would come and go so I just sucked it up and finished the run. It feels fine now that I've given it a little rest. Hopefully tomorrow's visit to the doc for another shot will take the pain down another notch for the long run next week. He says each one should reduce the pain a little more than the last...

Other than that I felt great during the run. I resisted looking at my watch other than to note when I was about 9 miles away from home so I'd know when to turn around. I just ran at an effort I felt I could keep up for 18 miles and had no idea how fast I was actually running until I got home.
