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.

6.75 miles at 9 min pace with Karina. She was full of energy after taking a few days off. Sore foot, good run!

Karina wanted to do a short faster run so I let her set the pace for the first mile and then challenged her to keep the same pace up Farwest hill on the second mile. She did it!! Then she picked up the pace a little bit more for each of the last 2 miles. She is going to do great in her 1/2 next month! Her goal is 2 hours. I'm convinced she can do it.

My daughter is a rockstar runner! I couldn't go on her long run today, so she went by herself in the wind and pouring rain and finished 12.75 miles in 1:55:00. She ran the first two hilly miles very slow(do as I say, not as I do) and still finished well within her race pace goals and said she could have easily kept going.
Only two weeks to raceday in Florida, I'm so excited for her!
