Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

So what happens when you run 2:18 in Indy and get the OTQ? Is the Nov. 7th plan a joke or what?

think "Brett Favre". I may periodically come out of retirement when I "get the itch".

Thanks, for pacing me through the first 7-8 miles of the race the other day eventhough you probably didn't realize it. Nice to talk/meet you after as well for a minute. You have a very good perspective on running.

you're just taunting old broken down pathetic guys like me aren't you?

gotta love brents performance on Sunday. now we just have to hope he keeps up the same form for the two big showdowns. I can't take a repeat of last year.

I'm focused only on the Bears right now. Big MNF coming up.

At least you don't have a team waiting on you, hoping you unretire. It affects no one but you! Unlike "Farve", who skips training camp and then is surprised he's rusty and says everyone needs to give as much effort as him!
