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

| biked to gym; did 40 minutes on elliptical, lifted, and stretched. I got my custom orthotics today. We did a few more pressure tests and the doctor made some last adjustments to make sure everything was correct and my body balanced. I broke them in around the office today, and will try running a mile in them tomorrow. They are actually fairly comfortable, and I wanted to run today, but held off. I am used to having an arch support by now, but the orthotics are quite a heel lift. I will have to keep stretching my calves and achilles to avoid complications with that. I plan to keep doing barefoot strides every week in grass (at least until it snows) to keep my feet strong. Also, I'm probably only going to wear them for running; I prefer birks for everyday wear, which don't have a heel lift. | | Add Comment |

| morning: ran 0.5 miles around block with dog. Then went out to LHS athletic fields and did 1 mile in grass in 8:02 (PR). Then kicked off my shoes and did 4x200m barefoot strides (52, 48, 46, 46). The last two strides were both 6 seconds faster than on Saturday, and 18 seconds faster than the time before that. Quite an improvement! My foot was a little sore afterwards, and I iced and massaged with ibuprofin/arnica cream. This was my first run with the new orthotics and they felt fine. Evening: biked to gym; 30 minutes on elliptical, lifted, and stretched | | Comments(2) |

| biked to gym; 40 minutes on elliptical, then lifted weights and stretched. Jogged easy 0.5 miles around block with dog. It felt only so-so, not great. My foot is doing quite well, no bad effects from yesterday. The left side of my groin is still giving me trouble though. | | Add Comment |

| raining and hailing like buckets in Logan, so I drove to the gym instead of biked. 40 minutes on elliptical, the 0.5 miles on treadmill in 4:30. I started at 10 minute/mile pace and worked up to 8 minute/mile pace. Felt decent. Lifted and stretched. | | Add Comment |
