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.

2:00pm Joel 1 - Micah 5

I couldn't even knock out a "short mile" at the Y in 5:40. The goal is to do a fastish 10 miler like this at least once a week at the Y through the resolution series. Week one down.

Maybe I'll run after work today.

6:30pm Micah 6 - Zechariah 14

All running gear accounted for. The only thing missing now is an empty stomach. The big mexican sandwich and quart of eggnog for lunch was not easy to hold down. After the second mile I quit looking at my splits and just tried to focus on holding a sub-puke pace. I didn't realize until the last mile that I had worked my way down into the 6's.

4:30am Malachi 1 - Matthew 9

Not feelin' it after last night's fast 10 so I decided to cut it short and rest up for the long run on Friday. I finally got back into the NT today, it looks like I'll finish it for the 3rd time this year if I stay consistent through the month.
