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.

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.

brrrr, it was a chilly 46° out this morning. That cool air helped my run a lot, my pace was faster and my HR lower than it has been in a couple weeks. My foot is the same, painful to walk, but ok when running.

I got a cortisone shot in my foot yesterday (ouch). Now it hurts from getting the shot, but the pain that I got it for is gone. If the nerve pain comes back the doc recommended surgery :( Speaking of surgery, my shoulder was acting up for the first time during a run today. That has me a little worried and if it keeps up I may have to get it fixed before Boston too. I have some torn cartilage in my shoulder that needs repair, but until now running hasn't aggrivated it at all. I'm worried that the recovery time or any complications from the surgery might screw up my training for Boston and I'd rather wait If I can. Oh yeah, my run... It was great! You should have been there. Perfect morning, around 50°, no wind, no rain, no traffic, just great.
