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

| Whew, heat wave! Mid-70s and sunny today; beautiful. Ran to the gym, did 25 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes arc trainer, 2x20 adductors @ 100 lbs, 2x18 abductors @ 90 lbs, 1x60 leg press @ 120 lbs, and1x40 single-leg press @ 60 lbs. Ran home. I am trying an experiment with my neuroma today. Some people says it helps to stick cotton balls between your toes. This spreads everything out and may help the crazy nerve return to normal. I don't have any cotton balls, but am substituting wads of toilet paper instead. So I am walking around with (clean) toilet paper between my toes. Good stuff. This would come in handy when running with Jon, as I could always pull out some toilet paper if he ran out.

| PM - decided that the gym didn't sound that appealing, so I tried something new: running. Met Jon and Cody at my house, and then Cody dropped us off at the LHS rec fields and Jon and I did about a billions laps in the grass (lost count due to angry tirades against the American health care system). Based on time, I'm calling it 5.5 miles. Hamstring feels fine. Foot is tolerable in the grass, and my stride felt good. Felt decently fit. | | Comments(3) |

| Logan and Jon came over to play this morning. I took them over to my playground at the Logan High Rec fields, and we ran endless loops in the grass. Joy. I actually felt pretty good, considering today equals the rest of my weekly running mileage. I decided that I am now on the "Benjamin Training Plan", which consists of two miles/day running, with an occasional longer run of 10K or more. 7:27/mile average pace for the run today. | | Comments(2) |
