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.

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.

First run from the new home today. Pretty much the same route as usual since I only moved 2 miles. I ran into Preston near the end of my run and went an extra mile or so with him to bring it up to 10 for today. February was a good month. My avg pace was faster and my avg HR was lower than January with only 30mpw. This month I'm increasing it to 40mpw if all goes well.

Avg pace today 7:24

I went to bed at 7:30 last night and finally got a good night of sleep. I ran what felt like an easy 10 today that turned out to be a 7:29 avg pace. My legs feel great... I will see just how great tomorrow, I have a long run planned with Preston.

Long run with Preston today. We had a couple of unexpected stops that mixed things up a bit, one at Carls Jr for a bathroom break and another at my new place to get some hand warmers. It was tough getting back up to speed after each stop, especially the second one. I rarely stop for anything during a run and now I know why. Cold water is a also a bad idea, I should have learned from the 15k last month, but I did it again at Carls Jr and cramped up pretty bad for about 20 min. The last 3 miles were really tough. Preston was going strong and I was gasping for air just trying to keep up and ended up falling back about 100 yards. I still finished pretty strong and put in a good day's work around the new house afterwards without too much discomfort. I am glad I have this one in the bank! I'll be able to look back on this during my next race and know I can finish no matter how bad I feel.

The sun will be out tomorrow and I'm getting some long overdue road-therapy on the motorcycle.
