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.

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.

Just enough miles to finish up my 2010 for the year. I used sporttracks to split the last 3.1 miles off of this run and it was almost as fast as my 5k time from last year's Resolution Run (19:39).
2010 miles in 244:09:50, and 274519 calories burned.  I'm going to quit running for the rest of the year now.

Somehow they didn't get finish times for anybody in the race so all I have is my garmin for an unofficial PR time. The course was also a bit long since they changed it to go around the far side of the library, so subtracting .1 off either end of this course would have given me the sub-19 I was jonesin' for (18:48). Maybe I'll do the 5k instead of the 20k at the end of the series and try to make it official.

Overall it was still a fun morning. Kym, Karina, and Danny ran it with me and I even beat a couple of more experienced, talented, and younger runners that I've been looking up to for a long time. What a great way to start the year!

Next up... sub 40:00 10k on 1/22

My little hotties were still warm and I didn't want them to go to waste so I went out again to make it an even 10 for the day.

UPDATE: "Official" results are up now. I'm not sure how they determined the times, but they have me down for 19:23 instead of 19:15 and still 4th out of 10in my age division. That is still better than last year so I can't complain about a new PR on a long course. I'm 2nd in my division out of the 5 that registered for the whole series and Dale was first of those. Looks like he's gonna steal my thunder this year. Go Dale!
