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

| What a beautiful day today! I went out to the River Trail to see what kind of shape it's in. The first mile and a half were totally clear, then some small (but manageable) patches of snow to the single-track, but then the single-track was completely un-runnable, as it was a sheet of glare ice, about a foot thick in some places. It will be until May before the trail is dried out; rather sad. I managed to navigate through the icefield (with a 13-minute mile), and it was a bit better down by 3rd Dam, but still some very deep snow right before the Spring Hollow campground. I didn't feel like doing the icefield again, so I went back along the shoulder of the highway, and then got back on the River Trail at 2nd Dam. Averaged 8:14/mile for the entire run, not too bad for all the walking and sliding. | | Comments(2) |

AM - slept poorly again last night. I think it might be the heat. This time, though, I made my 6AM wake-up call, jogged the dog around the block, then ran to the gym. Did 20 minutes elliptical and 10 minutes arc trainer, the 2x18 abductors @ 90 lbs, 2x20 adductors @ 90 lbs, 1x60 leg press @ 130 lbs, and 1x40 single-leg press @ 70 lbs (right leg only). Ran home. PM - Logan Loop, 8 miles averaging 7:38/mile. Cody wimped out on me and ran on the treadmill, so I ran by myself. Turns out that the snow and rain stopped right before the run, and it was actually quite nice out. Listened to a "This American Life" podcast in lieu of human interaction.
