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 - ran the dog around the block

noon - ran from work and did the First Dam Run 10K course at a brisk pace, about 6:15/mile on average. Beautiful day, perfect temps in the low 50s.

I woke up feeling a bit sick (sore throat, lethargic), so I laid low all day. No work, no running.

Feeling a little bit better, so I went to work today...which means I'm allowed to run (if I'm too sick to work, then  I'm too sick to run). Ran the dog around the block. Then ran to the chiropractor and back. 7:30/mile average. Felt okay.

AM - ran the dog around the block

noon - Providence Loop from work. Enjoyed the sun and felt really good; I'm glad to be not sick. Averaged 6:45/mile. Afterward, ran to the bank and back. Gotta love "street clothes miles".

"Long run" today. Met with Cody, Joe, and Logan, and we did the Young Ward - ICON Loop. It was a cold morning starting out, but warmed up nicely. We averaged 7:18/mile, which isn't bad for not paying attention and just chatting. I finished out my running my poor neglected dog around the block.
