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.

Race: Army Strong 5k (2.84 Miles) 00:17:36, Place overall: 14, Place in age division: 2
Total Distance
2.84

9:30am

Same short course as last year's Army Strong Veteran's 5k. Last year I had 2.86 on the garmin, this year it was still short at 2.84. They did mention something about the short distance after the race this time. The announcer said they will probably rename the event though rather than changing the course to make it longer. It seems weird to me that they would do chip timing and not make sure the course was actually 5k. What's that they say about the "Army way"? :) It was still a fun race and it was FREE so what's not to like about that? :)

Technically, this is another PR for me too. I took 58 seconds off last year's time on this same course! My next race is 4 on the 4th in Steilacoom. It will be my first 4 miler so the pressure is off for a PR at that one :)

Distance    Split pace
1.00    6:09 - flat with a short stretch of paved pathway and some grass.
2.00    6:23 - very steep up-hill on trails
2.84    6:09 - flat around the lake on some pavement and back to the grass.
