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

Woke up with a sore throat and some congestion, so I'm not running today. Rest, and live to run another day.

Feel better soon!

Bummer.

Kind of a bummer, but a day off is nice. Mostly I'm bummed that it happened during the weekend and not the work week. Oh well, I find some other way to use my 160+ sick hours I've accumulated.

I hope you feel better, but your right there's always tomorrow and beyond.

Hows the wireless temperature gadget working?

I put my old one in place but I don't think it's accurate. The one I have is one of the first one's they ever came out with several years ago.

Get well Paul..

Hope you didn't have a heart attack watching the Packers.

No, it's just football. But an enjoyable season, sad it ended.

From Burt on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 12:33:47 from 206.19.214.144

I too am sad that the Packers season ended. Hey Paul, we were told at the Ragnar Clinic that the Del Sol course would be finishing up at Tempe Marketplace so they can put our teams on the big screen as we come across. There was also word that it would change in Fountain Hills because of a festival they have. Also, I know with the new highway they put through Wickenburg, it's going to change through there. Do you have any idea when new maps will be available?

From Paul on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 12:41:30 from 65.103.252.214

Burt - that is a question for Ragnar.

From Burt on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 12:44:13 from 206.19.214.144

Gotchya.

BTW - I'm not sad at all that the Packers season is over. You probably knew I was lying anyway.
