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
PM - got caught up in a phone conference, so couldn't get out until 3:30PM. It was cold, and roads were icy in spots, but still good enough for a slow tempo. I just relaxed and didn't worry about pace, as I had to dodge cars (no shoulder with all the snow) and ice spots. Plus, the air was stinky. I did a Millville out-and-back, with 6 miles of tempo. Tempo miles were 6:21, 6:10, 6:08, 6:00, 6:07, 6:04. |

Ran the dog around the block, then ran to the chiropractor via the Logan Loop. Averaged about 7:15/mile on the snowy roads.

AM - ran the dog around the block. Bitter cold out.
noon - still bitter cold out, but at least it's sunny. I ran my First Dam Run progressive tempo. I think I went faster today than usual because it was so cold and I wanted to be done and back indoors. Splits were 5:59, 6:03, 5:36, 5:39, 5:28, 5:23. I lost a fair bit of time on mile 2 and 4 due to Island Rd being a sheet of ice. Hit a few other ice spots that forced me to slow down, but for the most part it was good. Finished up by doing 6x30s hill charges up the Boulevard.

More snow today. I opted out, and ran to the gym, then did 6 miles on the treadmill, 25 minutes on the elliptical, and 6 more miles on the treadmill, then ran home. I'll call that a "long run".
