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

Still get today, but starting to feel better. I decided to take one more day off, and will resume normal activity tomorrow. Since I have all sorts of free time, being bored and all, I finally got around to posting some of my more recent thoughts and arguments regarding the new Trials standards on my blog.

Feeling a bit better today, but still have congestion and am developing a slight cough. Toward the end of today at work I was feeling a bit worn down too, but couldn't go home because a client was in town from Colorado to work with me. Will probably take some more time off work tomorrow.
Coach Tinman gave me an adjusted schedule for this week to slowly get back into running. 4 miles today, just did the out-and-back on the Planet Walk. 7:15/mile pace. (Triax: 348 miles) | | Comments(3) |

Easy run on the canal trail. Still coughing; congestion is getting better. I am taking part of the day off work, and will be working from my home office the rest of the time, so hopefully that will give me extra rest. Time for a nap. My Wordpress blog has apparently caught the same virus I have. Something to do with the MySQL database. It worked one day, didn't work the next. I touched nothing. Beh. Hopefully tech support will sort it out. If it's down forever, I don't feel like rebuilding it again. (Adrenaline blue: 473 miles) | | Comments(1) |

I had a dental appointment, but my wife had the car, so I ran 2.5 miles to the dentist, then 2.5 miles back home, and then another 4 miles on the Planet Walk. Average pace was 7:21/mile. I'm feeling quite a bit better than yesterday, but still have some coughing and hacking. Congestion is quite a bit better. (Elite: 184 miles) | | Add Comment |

AM - ran to gym and did treadmill. 6.5 miles total. Health is much improved, but still coughing and hacking stuff up occasionally. If my energy level is still high this afternoon, I'll do another easy run. (Adrenaline blue: 480 miles) PM - got the urge to run again while walking home from work in the dark and snow. Called up Jon and met him at the Planet Walk; we ran the Planet Walk and then a loop on the golf course. Pretty good snow run. Distance is unknown, but I'm estimating it at 6 miles.

AM - easy 8 miles, on Providence Hill Loop. Listened to another This American Life podcast, about roadtrips. Very cold, and my beard completely froze over, which is appropriate for the first full day of winter. 7:12/mile average pace. (Triax: 362 miles) PM - easy 5.5 miles. Planet Walk, plus some distance with the dog. Didn't wear watch, but did break in my new Saucony Tangents. (Tangent: 5 miles)
