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 - ran 1 mile with the dog PM - took Seth and ran the Planet Walk, then ran back to work. 4 miles total. It was pleasant out. My hamstring has been feeling much better since going skiing, so that must have stretched something out. But my legs are still pretty sore from the ski day.

| AM - ran the dog around the block PM - ran the River Heights Loop up Center St. Then grabbed Seth for some stroller miles, but it started snowing and blowing pretty good, so we cut it short. This morning I went for my rheumatologist checkup. I told him I wanted to start a biologic medication, so we discussed all that, and I also got a Hep test and a chest x-ray. Tomorrow I go in to get a TB test. If it all looks good, and if insurance gives thumbs-up, I could start as early as next week. Will probably do either Enbrel or Remicade, whichever has more financial aid. Without aid and insurance, these meds can run over $20,000/year. Taking this step is something I've been thinking about for quite some time, and I think I've gotten to the point where I'm comfortable with the stats and potential side effects, and think the pro's will outweight the cons. I'll just have to wait and see how things pan out.

| Ran with Jon and Cody up Blacksmith Fork. Actually, down Blacksmith Fork. There was a nasty cold canyon wind, so we decided to shuttle up and run down. And that wasn't so bad, although I was quite tired by the end. 7:09/mile average pace. |
