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.

7:15am 2Samuel 4 - 1Kings 15

Last week was so much fun I decided to do it again. I took a slightly shorter route to the park this time, but it seemed like the hills were worse. PointDefianceShortcut Looking at the elevation chart I can see that it is actually a much easier route, both distance and elevation-wise, 562' of climb in 12.5 miles vs 625' in 13.5 last week. The trail run was a blast! There was a big group and we did a really easy pace. I was feeling the miles on the way home though. I got a killer cramp in my right calf and I felt really sluggish for the last 5 or 6 miles. I think I just pushed too hard on the uphill miles between the park and N30th st. because my time coming home was still faster than getting there. I miss my garmin, I don't like not knowing what my pace is all the time. I know I would have ran much slower today on purpose if I knew how fast I was going. I'll probably rest tomorrow and maybe even Tuesday if my calf isn't 100%.

Still resting that calf. This makes 6 days in a row with no running for the first time in over a year. My legs feel like they are spring loaded. I need to run! I got my "new" garmin on Tuesday and also got my Runner assignment for the Ragnar Relay Northwest Passage; #12 with 24.4miles over three legs: VeryHard/VeryHard/Moderate

I'm going to drive to the trail run with my daughter tomorrow and do 5 in the park. Hopefully that will be the start of a nice 40-50 mile week. I'd like to get a couple doubles in before NWP. Probably not Point Defiance doubles though...
