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.

8:00am Isaiah 38 - 60

Sunny and 65° at 8 in the morning! Summer is definitely here. The usual 11 miler up Farwest hill twice and Steilacoom hill once. No misadventures to speak of today :)

The Garmin seems to be back to normal, 1:25:06 and still 4 bars on the battery meter.

6:00am Isaiah 61 - Jeremiah 14

I was pretty sluggish the first 2 miles, after that I felt good. It looks like I'm going to pace Kym in the 4 miler today before we go out on the boat.

5:00pm 82° Jeremiah 34-51

Here I go again... MP effort for most of the run and 10k effort for the last few miles. Today's double and a 23 miler on Friday is going to make this my peak training week for the Tunnel Marathon, which just sold out today. I feel like I'm better prepared for this race than any I've done before. I just need to make it through the warrior dash without hurting myself.
