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.

5:00am Ezekiel 47 - Daniel 10

Semi-easy run in the wind and rain. I didn't look at my garmin until the end. It seems like I should have been a little faster for the effort. I didn't sleep well all weekend and the wind wasn't helping much so I'm not too surprised. I'm planning to run mon-wed-fri this week and next, but if it's dry tomorrow I may want to do this one over again. I'm still thinking about a med-long run on friday too. The weather is supposed to be nice...

5:00am  Daniel 11 - Amos 4

It was nice and dry out at first, but by mile 3 it was raining so hard one of my earbuds shorted out. Aside from the extreme soggyness, it was a great run!

5:00am  Amos 5 - Zephaniah 3

Sideways rain and ice pellets for the first 3 miles. 4 through 10 got progressively better, or at least dryer.

5:00am Haggai 1 - Matthew 21

Last long training run done! I feel like a million bucks except for a little road rash. At 8 miles I tripped over a piece of pipe laying on the sidewalk. I must have been moving pretty fast because I rolled twice once I hit the concrete. I lost a little skin from both elbows, right shoulder, right hip, and left hand. I turned around at that point to head home. By the time I got back to my neighborhood the pain had subsided and I felt like I had just barely warmed up so I did the 5 mile Oakbrook loop at just under marathon pace to see how long I could hang on. The pace was manageable and I think I could have held out quite a bit longer if I was doing 7:15s. Now I'm thinking my original goal may still be possible if the conditions are right on raceday. Boston here I come!

Some bloggers are meeting in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel at 6pm on Saturday the 16th if you haven't heard yet. Hope to see you there if you're going to Boston!
