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

Today was a workout day, but I did not want a tempo as hard as last week (need to change it up some). Plus I was a little sore and worn out from Saturday's run combined with Memorial weekend festivities (who knew I could get so sore from kicking a football?). I ran the Bear River Loop at a brisk pace, just tried to keep things honest. And of course it was raining. It is always raining here in Utah, or at least this spring it is. By halfway through the run, I was soaked to the core. But it was alright, fortunately not cold or anything, so most of it felt good, but I got kind of sick of being wet for the last few miles. Ended up with 14 miles. Hit the first 10 miles just a hair under 60 minutes, so right under 6:00/mile average. Toned down for the last few, but added some strides during the last couple miles. Averaged 6:09/mile for the full 14 miles.Nice bread-and-butter type run.

Good run Paul. As for being sore from kicking the football... well you said to me once a couple years ago after I was hurting from water skiing. "We are just fragile little runners and only use to running. Everything else jacks us up." Or something to that effect.

Indeed. At least botchiball didn't make me sore.
