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.

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.

6:30am 19.4 on the TM @8:00 min pace before they closed the fitness center for a class. I'll need to run faster to get 20 in before they kick me out next week.

2:30pm The sun was out and I felt a little shortchanged on my TM run so I went for a quick 5 around Oakbrook. 6:55 avg.

Just a quick 5 after work to blow off some steam before the annual condo association meeting tonight. We have some great people on our board and in our community, and some... well, not so much.

Not so fast this morning after so many miles this week. I ran the course a second time with Choi, looking for a racer that started and didn't finish. We never did find him. I hope he just decided to go for a long run or something...
