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.

12:00pm Matthew 10-23

10 "fast" "Miles" on the track at the Y. I had a 20oz ghetto mocha and a pop tart from the gas station thinking that it would all settle by the time I ran 2 or 3 hours later, then our plans changed and we went straight to the Y instead. It wasn't as bad as the eggnog run last week, but still not my idea of a good time. I wasn't near as speedy as last week(6:18) so I'm not sure if I should count this as my fast workout. I may try again after work later this week and see if I can get closer to 6:15.

4:30am Mark 9 - Luke 4

Another cool morning with no wind. No splits today because I can't get to the cradle for my garmin to download it. Avg. pace 7:09

After I got to work, my left knee started bothering me. I had a sharp pain under my knee cap all day that didn't calm down until about 10pm. I'll probably skip my long run this week just to be safe :(

11:00am Luke 5-19

I started with 5 easy, flat miles around Oakbrook just to see how my knee was going to feel. I stopped at home for a minute to get a drink and assess the situation; everything seemed ok, so off I went towards Farwest hill for another 6 not-so-easy miles. I guess this run was longer than normal, even if it wasn't the long run I was planning on. Hopefully my track run at the Y will go well tomorrow if I try to add a little speed.
