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

Biked to Dr. Kingston's and back.

I've posted a YouTube video of the Wasatch Back Relay for blue van 1 on my personal blog. It's nothing great (I don't bother with transitions or music or anything), but some of you might get a kick out of it. Sorry the video is so grainy, but that is YouTube's doing. The original is quite crisp.

PM - felt like running, so I met Cody and ran the River Trail. 3.5 miles total, averaging 7:20/mile. Very hot.

The video was great. Thanks for the time spent making it. Also, didn't get a lot pictures, so if people have some out there please do share.

Great job on the video Paul, it was cool!

From Cheryl on Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 18:16:46

Loved the video. Noticed you were playing one of my favorite songs, Downtown. Was the music all kind of oldies but goodies?

From Paul Petersen on Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 18:20:56

What's even funnier is that the tape kept looping, we got Downtown several times...

No, it was as Chad described: 'an eclectic mix'

Loved the video Paul, I hope someone with us on NWP has A/V club on their resume so we can get one.

30 years old. Happy Birthday! You'll be out of my age division until after April. Have a good one and remember who you are!

From Paul Petersen on Tue, Jul 01, 2008 at 16:56:06

Thanks all, esp. Jon for his dedication to wishing me a happy birthday.

Clyde - I am 29, we're still stuck for a while. However, I'm woefully out of shape, so it doesn't matter anyway.

From Superfly on Tue, Jul 01, 2008 at 17:03:02

Oops, I took a educated guess but my calculations were just a touch off.

From cody on Tue, Jul 01, 2008 at 17:24:46
