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

PM - Planet Walk with Seth. The fresh air was making me dizzy.

| Raining all day today. I put off running until the afternoon, but it didn't get much better. And I was not motivated to do a workout either. Fortunately, I anticipated that Jon would be at the gym this evening and would provide good company and good distraction, and I was right. Ran to the gym, then did 8 miles on the treadmill, with the last 7 miles progressing from 6:15 to 5:45/mile pace. Decent workout, but not too hard. Ran home. | |

AM - ran the dog for a mile, then ran to first dam and back on the canal trail. It was nice out when I started, then some light sprinkles, then light rain, then steady steady rain the rest of the time. I was soaked. That's what I get for try to run outdoors. 8 miles total, 7:40/mile pace.
PM - ran home from work, then did the Planet Walk. It was snowing, which is better than raining.

Did a 10x2-minute fartlek today, with 1 minute recoveries on the North Logan Loop. I originally intended track intervals, but I just couldn't stand the thought of it when the time actually came. Started the workout after a 3 mile warmup, at the top of the hill by Aggie Village. Cooled down afterward and did 4 or 5 strides.

| Longish run today. I ran from my house to Spring Hollow Campground and back, 16 miles in 1:49:00 (6:49/mile). It was absolutely beautiful out today, which put an extra spring in my step. And the single-track is very much clear of snow, which was good news as well. Also, I topped 70 miles for a week, the first time since September, 2008, and the second time since December, 2007. |
