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

| The gym is closed on Sunday, so no activity today. Instead, I took a nap and then got a 30-minute massage focusing on my hamstring issue. | | Comments(2) |

AM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. Hamstring seems to have improved some overnight from the massage. PM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. Ate 4 pieces of pizza ("Pizza Monday" at the gym). Feeling pretty good. | | Comments(6) |

AM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. Today was "Bagel Tuesday" at the gym. Einstein bagels with schmears. O so good. I had two. PM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. Snowing buckets out. I feel like I'm just a few days out from being pain-free again.

AM - 30 minutes on elliptical. So snowy. I'm getting sick of shoveling twice a day, every day. PM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. Not much change from yesterday. | | Comments(6) |

| Been feeling lethargic, unmotivated, and a bit crabby most of the week. I decided to read the writing on the wall and take some time off. I'll still be doing a lot of core work, stretching, and some strength building, but nothing aerobic, and certainly nothing twice in a day. I've been trying to cling to this fitness level for a while, but it seems that it's better to just let it go, get healthy at a faster rate, and then rebuild. Spring is still a long ways off. | | Comments(5) |

AM - 3 pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, 3 eggs, and 3 cups of coffee at Angies, and 90 minutes of quality sit time with my wife. PM - 2 bottles of beer, and half a bowl of pretzels consumed on route to a snowy 42-20 Packer victory over the Seagals. Celebratory beer-boiled bratwurst yet to come in the evening, in hopes of the Patriots getting embarrassed by whoever they are playing. (slippers: 0.013 miles)
