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.

Hey Mr 3:04 marathon guy (is that the time he said??) I think you are a marathoner, but I do agree that you still have a lot in you! You need to come to Utah and run the St George marathon, it is so super fast you would have an awesome finish time.

Maybe someday I'll get over there for a race. My traveling schedule is maxed out for a while with a wedding in Puerto Vallarrta in July and then a trip to Boston in April.

From Kelli on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 20:07:27 from 71.219.75.178

Hey, maybe there is a race you can run while at the wedding???

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 20:11:07 from 72.102.145.120

I wonder if we have any bloggers in PV?

From Kelli on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 21:30:49 from 71.219.75.178

I would have to figure out how to spell it before I could figure it out. Better yet, put Burt on that task!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 22:12:47 from 75.230.89.35

Yeah, I misspelled it earlier. I don't know how that got by Burt. He must not read my blog anymore.

I used the blog search and there's only 3 bloggers in all of Mexico and none in PV. Bummer :(

Maybe I can still find a race down there.

I didn't commit fast enough and missed my chance for a spot on a ragnar team in July. Now I don't really have any race plans until January.

From Kelli on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 23:21:19 from 71.219.75.178

Well, then you can just take it easy and eat donuts and ice cream!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, May 14, 2010 at 01:21:44 from 76.121.76.165

No, something good will come up. I know it will Come Together.
