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.

6:00pm 1Samuel 21-30

Just a quick run in the sideways rain to check the distance from Black Bear around the lake in Steilacoom Park and Back. I'm going to try starting a running group on Monday nights. 3 miles through the park followed by fro-yo and espresso at BB.

4:30am 1Samuel 31- 2Samuel 20

My watch went berzerk flashing and beeping like crazy during mile 8. I thought for sure it was broken again since I just installed a new battery. It turned out that the lap database was just full again and I had to clear some of the history. It looks like I lost a couple tenths of a mile because of it. Tragic huh?

5:00am 2Samuel 21 - 1Kings 8

Not motivated at all this morning. I decided to skip Steilacoom hill since it is staying so dark lately, well that's how I justified cutting the run short anyway. Once I woke up a little after the second mile I felt pretty good and picked up the pace.

6:30pm 

Thursday night Pub Run. We met at a skeezy little tavern in a very sketchy neighborhood in downtown Tacoma. Fortunately we ran toward the nicer houses and around the park. I kept on pace with the leader so I didn't get lost. As far as I know nobody got mugged or kidnapped. I shouldn't complain because I really do enjoy some of the people I meet at these gatherings. Tonight I talked with a couple who I'm pretty sure liked running even more than beer :)

I entered a haiku poetry contest today. Got to be the gayest thing I've ever done.
