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.

Makes for a nice progression run!

From I Just Run on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 09:11:30 from 67.79.11.242

Yes...nice progression. My mile times are always all over the place with the hill I have to run. I'd like to find some nice flat road to run on some time.

I didn't really plan it that way, it just worked out. After doing intervals yesterday this whole run felt pretty easy except for the last mile.

From JD on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 09:34:50 from 70.96.78.149

good run - it's a great to feel stronger with each progressive mile.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 09:41:29 from 141.0.9.136

IJR - There actually a couple good size hills on this one. I just added a link to the course tool for this route. I think it's kind of fun to go after even pacing on a hilly course. The intervals I did yesterday were all back and forth on a flat almost straight 1 mile stretch across the park. The next best thing to a track I guess.

From Andrea on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 09:55:43 from 72.37.244.100

Perfect progression run! Great job.

From Preston on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 13:15:25 from 71.231.18.60

Nice run day after speed work, always great to finish strong

From Steam8 on Thu, May 17, 2012 at 10:16:33 from 166.70.55.77

Haven't been on in weeks and you are still pumping out your 10 fast miles just about every day. I want to be you!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 17, 2012 at 11:07:11 from 24.18.125.122

Steam - Only 2 runs this week, I wouldn't call that every day. How is your knee feeling? Did you get that sweet bike yet?

From Steam8 on Thu, May 17, 2012 at 11:20:24 from 166.70.55.77

My hub got me one for Mother's Day. It is pretty sweet. Not 400,000 dollar sweet, but close enough! ha!

Is it decoupaged with real butterfly wings?
