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.

Poor man's cleats. this works a LOT better than you would think! Very quick and easy.

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.

I stepped on a nail yesterday while tearing down my deck and it was still throbbing a bit this morning so I put off my run until after church. My foot actually felt better on the run than my stomach did with the berry sundae Kym and I split at Costco on the way home.

My last two 10 milers have been the same pace as my 15k race back in March with a solid, but much less than race effort!

On Burt's (AKA Buster Bluth) advice, I tried sticking a nail in my other foot today just to see what would happen. It was a little harder to keep my splits consistent, but on average I was much faster. Thanks Burt!

Extreme Chafage part two! It was raining pretty hard again this morning, just like last Friday, but I really wanted to get out for a couple hours. I took off on my regular route and ran into Preston about 2 miles in. We ran together for about 3 miles before he headed back home. Then I ran Farwest hill twice and did two loops around Oakbrook. I had originally planned on 20, but the rain and chafing pretty much took the fun out of it and I finished early. I'm not sure why I feel so speedy this week. I have picked up 10 to 15 seconds per mile at the same level of effort I usually run.
