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.

8:30am

I set out to see how many laps around Oakbrook I could do at 9:00 min pace. It just seemed way to easy at that pace so I did 8ish instead, I was sure I could still do at least 5 until I got about half way through the 4th. I thought about slowing down and doing the 5th one, but decided to stop instead and give my legs a rest. Next week I'm going to try keeping a steady 8:30 pace from the start and see if the 5th or maybe 6th lap seems like a better idea.

I ran to the Tacoma Runners event tonight and found a $10 and a $20 along the way. That's almost $3 per mile and was more than enough to pay for post-run hydration at Magoo's Annex.

I planned to just keep the leaders in sight so I wouldn't get lost on the route and ended up running a lot faster than I intended, as usual. I got a ride home with John and Scott who met me there for the 3 miler. Great time as always, and Susan brought lemon bars again!
