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.

Rest today sort of... I was up late last night at the Fleetwood Mac Concert and now I am driving 300 miles to Karina's graduation in Spokane. I am excited to be there, but it is a long drive in a kia rio. Hopefully I'll get some sleep in the car on the way home while Kym drives :) 

The show last night was incredible! I have always loved Stevie Nicks, but I never realized what an amazing musician Lindsey Buckingham is. It is something you have to see live to appreciate!

I only slept a few hours last night, but didn't want to miss 2 days in a row. Nice and easy today and no kick at the end.

I think the weekend finally caught up with me. The hills seemed so much bigger today...

Only 5 hours sleep last night and my run seemed so much easier than yesterday, and I still had energy for a nice kick at the end. It must have been the bananas I ate for breakfast.

Nothing slower than marathon pace today and still had a kick left at the end :) I'm curious to see how my long run goes tomorrow without taking a day off before. I'll probably keep it down to 16 miles this week unless I feel really good.

5 med-fast miles to the lake, 2 fast 3 mile laps around the lake, and 5 marathon pace miles home. I wasn't really tired at the end, but my legs are a little sore so no kick in mile 16. I found 2 dollar bills in the park in mile 15 and in mile 16 a fat lady at the bus stop mocked me and said "run forest run". It might have hurt my feelings if she called me Phoebe, but I can handle Forest, he's pretty cool. Actually, Phoebe is pretty cool too, but I'm glad I don't run like her :)

I'll be running my 10's in Toppenish, WA this weekend. I hope I can find some hills. Have a great Memorial Day weekend everybody :)

I did 8 miles solo @ 7:20 pace, then 2.4 with my soon to be son-in-law Danny @ 7:44, then 2.4 with my brother-in-law Steven @ 7:37, then another 4 with Karina @ 8:55. The miles added up a little quicker than I expected.
