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 - feeling about 90% better, although stomach is still little raw and achy. Did an out-and-back to Hyde Park. 7:14/mile average pace for 8 miles.

PM - Forrester Acres with Seth. 6 miles, no watch. Stomach is still not feeling well. Had to stop once at a park bathroom. Legs feel okay though. The last time I had something like this, it took a few days to go away.
