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

Watched the 25K Championships in Grand Rapids today. It was rather bittersweet, as I really wanted to run this race, plus the field looked pretty weak and I think I would have had a shot for top 10 if I had been in the shape I was in last fall. Too bad about all the injuries. On the upside, I saw a lot of friends from college, several who ran quite well. Also, got to cheer on blogger Trashcan Annie in her 3rd place U.S. finish on the women's side. Definitely a big boost to her resume as well as pocketbook. Brian Sell ran away with the men's title, averaging something like 4:49/mile for 15.5 miles. Utah master Dennis Simonitis came away with another big race, finishing in the top 20 and averaging under 5:20/mile. Not bad for a 45-year old.
