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.

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.

12@7:52 slow and steady with the usual hills on Farwest and Butte. I also got a bug in my eye during mile 10. It's still there after 3 hours of finger prodding, rubbing, and visine dropping. ugh!

I planned to run long with Preston today and he had to cancel at the last minute so I took my time and got a late start again. I was in no hurry to finish this run, I just wanted to get in an easy 20+ to meet my mileage goal for the week. I ran a loop around Oakbrook and then headed down through Steilacoom and up Chambers hill to the golf course. I ran the hilly 3 mile golf course loop and then back up through Steilacoom where I ran into Preston dropping his daughter off at church around mile 18. Great timing for him to join me for the last few miles since he was still in his running gear. Those last few miles turned into 7 by the time we went up Steilacoom hill and around the Oakbrook loop. As usual, Preston pushed the pace and my last 4 were the fastest of the day. My best runs are always with this guy!
