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.

5:00am Mark 13 - Luke 4

I almost skipped my run today because I am so tired. My neighbor had a stand-off with the police last night. They showed up about 12:30am and started in with the bull-horn, "come out with your hands up" "we know you're in there" "this is your last warning", etc. etc. I swear they said "this is your last warning" at least 50 times! I felt like telling them to shut up and just tear gas him so I can go back to sleep! Any experienced parent knows you only give ONE "last warning" before taking care of business. Eventually he did come out so they didn't have to kick the door down and shoot him. I wonder what he did in the first place? Maybe this will drum up some interest in the neighborhood for our "National night out against crime" tonight :)

Anti-tapering for the Tacoma Narrows Half tomorrow. I'm pacing Kym and I don't want to be too restless and push the pace. Aren't I a loving husband? :)
