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 more not so easy miles after work today. My calf is still sore, but not any worse than yesterday. It actually felt better as I went faster. I'm not sure why that is since I injured it by running fast.

TR 5k. I started slow, then got bored, then wised up a little. My calf is still getting better.

15 easy miles with my friend John on his 50th birthday. We did 4 laps of the TR 5k course an then sort of raced the 5th. There was birthday cake at the finish line and then breakfast at the Antique Sandwich Company after. Aside from my calf pain flaring up a bit, it was a perfect morning of running, eating and discussing the merits of Led Zeppelin with a couple professional symphony musicians.
