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.

5:00am

I almost got hit by a car today. I had just left my house and a car coming towards me started pulling over to the shoulder. I thought they were going to stop or maybe just yell something at me, but no, the car kept coming right over the curb onto the sidewalk! I jumped out of the way just as the driver swerved back into the street. Another half a second for him and he would have smashed into a little rock wall that I jumped onto. Another half a second for me and I would have been sidewalk pizza. The car stopped in the middle of the road and just stayed there for a minute or so before taking off. I thought about going back to see if the driver had passed out or something, but he drove away before I could make up my mind. I was a little worried that he had done it on purpose. I saw the same car later in my run after I looped the neighborhood and the driver was delivering papers. I guess he had fallen asleep at the wheel when I first saw him. Or maybe he just hates runners?

5:00am I got splits today, but didn't have time to download them to sporttracks and I'm too lazy to manually put them in if I can't cut and paste them :) I averaged 7:17 and felt great the whole way. I'm planning a medium-long run with Preston tomorrow and will cross-train on the honey-do list this weekend. Not sure what the plan is yet for next week, the 20th is raceday... I'll probably iron my "flame shirt" and do 3 10's between monday and thursday and rest friday. Well, I guess I do have a plan now :)

Update: Preston wants to run Saturday at 4:00am instead of Friday at 6. I think he's nuts, but I'm going to do it.

I planned a super early run with Preston so I could be at a 7:00am meeting and ended up having to skip the meeting anyway. Oh well, it was a good run and I got it out of the way early. Our pace was all over the place as usual, but we averaged a nice 7:32 per mile again this week. That's two weeks in a row of 40+ with no pain :)
