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.

Tri group. 10 miles on the bike, 5 easy and 5 fast(20+ mph). 3.5 miles easy run @10:20. My legs are toast after 30 hilly miles on the bike and "swimming" yesterday. Looking forward to some more time in the pool today.

I graduated from the kiddie pool today. With some encouragement from the group, I got in the lap pool at the Y and made it all the way across. I had to rest at the other side each time, but I managed to swim about 300 yards all together. I need to go about twice that far without stopping to complete the first leg of a sprint tri in August...

5 miles out and back on Farwest and Butte hills @7:47. The last mile pushing an abandoned shopping cart back to the store from the park.

10 easy miles @8:00, no shopping carts, but I did hurdle a dead cat at mile 6.

My left achilles was really tight for the first mile.

My pool is broken so I can't swim unless I drive to the Y now :( I watched some youtube videos on how to tread water and practiced eggbeaters sitting on the edge of my table yesterday. Does that count as training?

First "long" run in a while. 7:28 avg.

Practiced eggbeaters sitting on the edge of the pool for a while after my run. The heater is still broken and it's way too cold to get in all the way.

6:30am 13 mile bike ride to Point Defiance Park  for the race.

8:00am 3.1 miles @6:34. I just ran a solid effort and never looked at my watch. I didn't expect to break 22 after the hard run yesterday and the bike ride today.

9:00am 13 miles home on the bike. Legs are like Jello now.

10.00am 5 miles around Oakbrook with John @7:27. The last mile was tough @6:54.
