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.

I was off work today and planned an early run, but didn't get started until noon. It was about a million degrees out and I couldn't find my water bottle. I left without it, thinking I could make it 10 miles without water and covered almost 9 before I made a side trip to the fountain in Steilacoom Park. After I had my fill, I spotted a nice shady patch of grass where I napped for about an hour before running the last mile home. It was a beatiful day for a run... and a nap :)

Tacoma Runners from New Frontier downtown. Fun run, but WAY TO MANY stoplights on this route. Played pool for a couple hours and listened to some crazy kareoke singers after the run :)

3 mile warmup running to the start.

9:00am

Lined up in the middle of the pack and took off at about the same pace I maintained throughout the course. The first 1/4 mile is pretty steep down hill then mostly flat until the 2 mile turnaround. Then it's 1 3/4 miles of dreading the finsh on that same hill :) It takes a lot of effort to stay on pace going up that hill to the finish!

I have no idea how I finished this course in 24:04 the last time I raced it.

Pretty small and tired turnout for the race after all the 4th of July festivities. I only ran as fast as I needed to stay in front :)

8:40

Ran another lap around the park with Choi, Deb and Cara after the race. Average about 8:50.
