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

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.

Happy Easter. It's not about chickens and bunnies. He rose from the dead to prove everything he said.

Into the wind out and back. I pushed the pace a little today because I was cutting it short. I planned to do 10m and got started too late. 10 tomorrow at or slower than MP.

4:30am Galatians 3 - 2Thessalonians 1

Everything is really falling into place this week. I'm feeling healthy, I finished a couple projects at work, my friend Preston decided to go to Boston with me on short notice and I was still able to get him a ticket for the private bus before it filled up, the hotel upgraded my room for no extra charge, and I even got 2 tickets for a tour of the Sam Adams brewery on Tuesday. All I need now is a tailwind on Monday morning :)

Pretty comfortable at this pace today, the last mile felt the best. I think the reduced mileage is making a difference.

I went out for a quick 3 and forgot to turn around in the middle :) I think I've exceeded my quota of miles for the week. Time to rest, for real.

Taper FAIL! Still on the low end for mileage compared to my average for the last couple months and lower than last week, but I could not stick to my 30 mile goal for this week :(

I decided to run down to the coffee shop to meet Preston. It's only a few miles and I really wanted to run the downhill stretch to get a couple speedy miles in wthout a lot of extra effort. Hoping it will make MP feel a little bit more "normal" or "easy" on Monday. I met Preston in the park where he did a few strides, I picked it up a little bit, but didn't want to push it too much with anything out of the ordinary. I just let him go and caught back up on the recovery. I ran ahead for the last mile or so down Steilacoom hill at 6:05 and felt great.

After coffee I ran home(uphill) at less than a race effort and still dipped under MP. I'll give credit for that to the caffeine. No aches, no pains, and no worries this year. It's going to be a great weekend!
