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

It was very snowy here in Logan this morning. By the afternoon the roads had cleared up, but I ran to the gym anyway and did my workout on the treadmill, mostly because I just wanted to zone out and listen to music, and I wanted to get a good sweat in. Warmed up for a mile, and then did 6 miles of "brisk", progressing from 6:30 pace to 6:00 at the end, with a 0.5-1.0 incline. Cooled down for half a mile, and then ran home, and then back to work. 10 miles total. I weighed myself before my run for the first time in a couple months. I was 128 lbs with shoes on, down a few lbs from last time. I had a feeling I had lost a little bit, due to how my jeans were fitting. It's the least I've weighed since my freshman year of high school. Not that I'm trying to, but it's hard to keep weight on while not eating any bread, potatoes, rice, dairy, or processed foods. Just an unlimited amount of meats, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, and fruits. Supposedly high-protein diets, such as Paleodiet, speed up the metabolism. But I've actually lost my skinny-fatguy paunch, and for once have some definition around my abs. Energy is high, and running feels good, so I guess I'll stick with it.

| Blizzard here in Logan today. I woke up to 6 inches of snow on the ground, and more on the way. I decided to call off the 8AM run in hopes the roads would be plowed and in good shape by afternoon. No such luck, so at 1PM I ran to the gym (0.8 miles), and did 4 miles on the treadmill at about 7:10 pace, then 30 minutes on the elliptical (just to break things up), then 7 more miles on the treadmill at about 7:00 pace. When I ran home from the gym, and it was blizzarding again, this time harder than before. I guess winter has begun!
