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

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.

7:00am Lamentations 4 - Ezekiel 17

Pretty good run today considering the big workout I did on Friday. It was really windy this morning so I just went with it and held a comfortable pace however fast it happened to be. As Wash would say, "Like a leaf on the wind". Are there any Firefly fans out there?

I switched shoes today after 940 miles in my old ones and I spent the first mile or so worrying a little bit about my feet not liking the change. It wasn't long though before I got absorbed in my bible audio and I spent the rest of the time praying, day dreaming, and just generally being thankful for the friends I have here on the blog, and for 12 months of consistent training. I'm feeling really healthy and ready to take on the B2B challenge.

6:00am

Long run with Preston today. He was still feeling sick and bailed out at 13. I finished pretty strong considering the wind and sideways rain. I felt kind of bad dragging Preston out in this mess when he wasn't feeling well. Not really bad, just kind of.

Now that I'm done, the sun is out...
