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.

10:00am Warrior Dash

All the kids bailed out for one reason or another(all very good reasons) so it was just me and my friend John with a few thousand warrior strangers(some stranger than others). We had a great time with no worries about speed whatsoever. If you've never done one of these you are missing out on a great time! Here's a few pics from our day. John is the one in the Hawaiian shirt and headcam. I should have some video from that pretty soon too.

5:00am Micah 5 - Malachi 2

Dead legs, sore ribs, high heart rate. Not my best run. I replaced some faucets in our bathrooms last night and managed to renew the pain in my ribs while straining to get the drain assembly off one of the sinks. In the end I had to put the pipe wrenches away and use the the Makita 4" grinder to cut it off instead. If only I had done that about two grunts sooner...

Moses Lake 5:30am Malachi 4 - Matthew 15

10 miles at a semi-easy pace, 8 of it on gravel/dirt road, last 3 at MP. I saw what I think was a drug raid in progress during the last mile. Helmets, body armor, assault rifles, the whole bit. Two cops were standing by an unmarked van as I ran down the sidewalk right in front of the house before I realized they had the place surrounded. There were 2 or 3 more on each side of the house and in the neighbor's yards. I can't believe they let me get that close. They should have directed me to stop or at least cross the street. Needless to say, I did not slow down to talk to them about it.

I'm not feeling super great about Sunday. This is the most I've ever tapered before a race and I feel like I'm "losing it" rather than getting rested. I don't know if I should just rest for the next 2 days like usual or maybe run a few miles to put my mind at ease.
