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

I woke up at 4AM this morning, and my body said, "I'm sick of sleeping. That's all you do anymore." I guess 30+ hours of sleep over a span of three days is plenty. I'm feeling quite a bit better today, and hopefully it sticks. The last couple days I've felt decent for the first few hours, then I start feeling sicker during mid-morning. But today will be different. ;-).

I ran an easy 5 miles with 4x100m strides at the end. I bumped into Cody after a mile and ran with him for a couple miles, then finished up on my own, and with the dog. Didn't wear watch.

We are leaving for St. George at 2PM, which should put us there by 8:30 or so, with a stop at the WRC and dinner along the way. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

I was just going to mention to you that Clyde had said you were coming down tonight, so maybe we all could catch a few miles then, but I see you won't be here until later - so have a safe drive and keep feeling better.

Drive careful and we should get together tomorrow for a short loosen up the legs run with whoever is down there.

I'll see you down there. You are ready to kick some trash, don't let your flu bug get in your head, you will do great.

Glad you are feeling better, Paul, we were both praying for you to recover quickly. I look forward to meeting you this weekend, and wish you the best of luck. You are ready for St. George and the OTQ.
