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

AM - Planet Walk, easy. Left leg is still a bit sore, but getting there.

PM - Landfill Loop with Jon and Seth. 7:42/mile average pace.

***Note: this last run bumped me up over last year's total mileage (1833). Always a good benchmark after an injury year! I'll definitely hit 2500 this year, but 3000 is a bit doubtful. I would need to average 65 mpw for the rest of the year to hit 3000...and that seems a bit ambitious for me this days. But you never know.

I see you are back to your old picture again. A wise choice I might add, he is a very good looking kid.

No, still the same pic. I think you are at a different computer, and need to refresh your browser cache.

But it's true, Seth is a lot better looking than I am. Takes after his mom.

Sasha should add a blog feature that prevents comments from colliding in cyberspace.
