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.

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 knew it would be tough to keep up with Preston after basically taking 3 weeks off (only 4 runs and two of them at nearly walking pace). My foot didn't bug me too much for the first few miles, but I could feel the pace wearing me down already. I resisted the urge to look at my watch, until Preston asked me about my new Garmin. I instinctively looked at it and noticed my pace was 6:55 ugh! I didn't want to know how fast I was going. This just made it seem harder to keep up. I was happy to just keep up and not get stuck downwind of his dried mango issues regardless of how slow or fast I was going. That was a backdraft I didn't want any part of! I manged to hang in there all the way to the coffee shop despite the growing pain in my foot and my general exhaustedness. After coffee we jogged over to his house so I could see the progress on his construction project. It's looking very good.

I'm going to the foot doc today so I thought if it flared up from running on it again that might make it easier for him to pinpoint where the pain is and figure out what's going on in there. Either that or he'll scold me for being an idiot runner that doesn't know when to quit. Or maybe both. Should be interesting...
