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

| AM - biked to the chiropractor and back PM - biked to the gym and did 60 minutes on the elliptical. After a good Saturday, my shin was hurting all yesterday and today. Back to work on it.

Rode my bike to the gym, then hit the elliptical. 20 minutes at normal effort, then 20 minutes at "tempo" effort, 10 minutes normal, then 10 more "tempo" minutes. Then I did 10 minutes on the arc trainer before hurrying home to watch the debate.

Rode my bike to the gym and did 50 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the arc trainer. The shin is almost back to where it was at the end of last week. Fortunately, I don't have any death marches on trail this weekend to mess it up again.

AM - biked to the chiropractor and back PM - biked to the gym, did 15 minutes arc trainer and 50 minutes elliptical. Checked in at 130 lbs, check out at 129 lbs. Time to rehydrate. I'm a little frustrated that I'm not running yet. Hopefully I will get my compression sock soon, and hopefully it will help.

| Went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the elliptical. All this cross training is making me tired, so I made it short today. Tomorrow will be a 90 minute workout.

Hit the gym, and did 60 minutes on the elliptical, followed by 15 minutes on the arc trainer, and 15 more minutes on the elliptical to cool down. The middle part of the workout was at "tempo" effort. I find cross training to be mentally grueling. Dispite having an iPod and about 12 TV's around me, I was incredibly bored. I find it amazing that people choose to do this, even when they are not injured. I personally would much rather face the cold. Fortunately my race is in a week, so I don't have to do this much longer. A note of sadness: the local fruit and vegetable stand is closing down for the year. I've been going there about 3 times a week lately to stock up on local peaches, apples, melons, and other goodies. Since I don't eat bread, rice, pasta, or grains anymore, I eat a massive amount of fresh fruit instead. And now it's all gone. Sigh. Well, except for the 40 pounds of peaches I just bought. That might last me until Thursday, then it's all gone. On the menu tonight: gluten-free peach crisp. Yum!
