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

Enjoy Idaho Falls, my man. You bring xc's? tele's? both??

?? I'm going to Dubois on Tuesday, if that's what you mean. I don't think I'll have time to ski, as I'll be up in an airplane all day.

Paul, are you heading back to Logan after the WBR? If so, would you have room for 2-3 passengers? Kory and I (and possibly 1 more runner from Idaho Falls another team) are having a heck of a time finding transportation to/from the start/finish.

Jeff - I am hitching a ride with Jon to Brigham City after Leg 30, and then meeting my wife and staying in Brigham most of the day.

If you are in van 1 and don't need to go to the finish then you might be able to go with us (don't know how much room there is), and get a ride back to Logan from Brigham, or potentially take Jon's car back to Logan.

Hey, thanks a million for being our driver. It was great having you along to keep us on course, time the exchanges, and keep us relaxed.
