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

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 am so doing this! http://runforyourlives.com/


It's like flag football. Finish the race without the zombies taking your flags and you are eligible for awards. If not, you finish as one of the undead. Lots of obstacles and multiple routes, one wrong turn could change your 5k into a 10k.

9:00am 1Samuel 13-20

My Garmin is dead again. I keep forgetting to take it off in the shower and the battery shorts out. Last time it totally killed the battery, this time I dried it out with a hair dryer and it seems to be ok. It's supposed to rain all next week so I need to figure out a way to weather proof it a little better. I'm going to try covering the contacts with some silicone this time and tape it up a little tighter. I'm still waiting for my new battery that will fit inside the watch. It's been 10 days since they confirmed my order. I think it's on a slow boat coming all the way from China, or maybe they strapped it to a pigeon's leg, or maybe they just kept my $4 and figured I'd forget all about it in 20 days. The 10-20 day shipping was free, 7-10 was $17 and 3-5 was $28. Guess which one I chose for my $4 battery?

I used Sportypal on my phone for today's run. It felt like I was running a lot faster than it reports...

Hopefully I can patch up my Garmin again today. I have a long run planned with Preston tomorrow.
