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

Easy distance run from my office to a couple miles of the Logan River Trail and back via the canal trail. Aside from tight hamstrings and a "beat-up" feeling near my ankles, I feel alright after Relay del Sol. I think I'll recover alright for the half marathon this weekend, although it's yet to be determined whether I'll do any workouts this week or just rest up instead.

Oh, our del Sol team is famous now.

That is cool that they blogged about it, too. Too bad we can't respond on their blog. I wonder if they will find ours.

Good job and all, but I have yet to read anything about post-relay brurgers. I'm a strange mix of offended and appalled.

Actually, Dave and I cheated and had brurgers before the race. They were not as good as when they are cooked over an open fire in Moab though.

We ate at Fuddruckers Saturday night, so we all had big juicy burgers. Does that satisfy you, Ben?
