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

| Exactly two months until Olympic Trials. I guess I should get in shape. Funny enough, I haven't really been thinking about running much since Boston, to the point of which I almost missed to deadline for airfare and hotel reservations for Houston! I just happened to be browsing through the (horrid) USATF site and by a lark caught that those deadlines were today. Oops. But I got it in. Now I just need to train. Had a good Big Workout today. 15 miles total, with 8 miles at MP on the Saddleback-Bear River Ranch route. First 4 miles of the tempo were about 5:25/mile, the next three were all around 5:15, and the final mile was 5-flat. The difference between the first half and the last half was the prevailing wind. Tailwind helps a lot, even a slight one.

| Ran the Smithfield Turkey Trot 10K this morning. Thankfully, it had stopped snowing overnight, and was a clear, beautiful morning. But the roads were sheets of ice, at least at first. I wore my "shoe chains" during my 5-mile warmup on the course, and decided to wear them for the race too. However, during the time between my warmup and the race, the sun actually improved the roads quite a bit, but the "chains" were still very helpful in some spots, so glad I wore them. Knowing that the roads were slick, plus the course is pretty difficult, I just wanted a marathon-pace workout out of this, and to win a turkey. And that's how it worked out. I ended up running 35:55-ish, and led from start to finish, although second place was not that far behind. My mile splits (garmin-based) were 5:18 (downhill), 6:02 (uphill), 5:58 (uphill), 5:46 (rolling), 5:31 (mostly down), and 5:29 (downhill). Didn't feel great, but didn't really need to, as it just needed to be a moderate workout at the end of a long week. And I won a turkey. After the awards, I ran another 8.5 miles on the county roads west of Smithfield, to give me an even 20 for the day.
