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

More snow today. AM - ran the dog around the block. PM - ran from work to the gym, the long way through River Heights. Then did a fartlek session on the elliptical - 4 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy, repeat 4 times. Cooled down by running 3.5 miles on the treadmill, then running home and back to work.

The weather and roads were little better today, so I ran from work to the end of Millville and back. My garmin ran out of batteries early on, but I g-mapped it out to be 9.5 miles. Roads were good in many spots, but very slushy in others, so traction was not great. I should have done part of it on the treadmill, but on the other hand it was nice to get outside.

AM - ran the dog around the block noon - ran the Planet Walk and back. I kept it short today, partially because of time constraints, partially because I think my body needs an easy week to change things up, and partially because my left knee is feeling a little bit creaky and tight. Based on past experiences, it feels like the very early stages of patellofemoral pain syndrome (runners' knee), which I've had a couple different times in either knee. Usually this occurs from poor kneecap tracking due to hamstring tightness and/or quad weakness. In the past, I've staved it off by deep self-massage on the lower quad, leg extensions and other quad-strengthening exercises, and stretching the quads and hamstrings really well. Right now there is no pain at all while running, but I can just feel some pressure and weakness, so I'll be keeping an eye on it. There is no sense in forcing mileage for the sake of mileage, especially with these poor road conditions and with races of any consequence being so far away.

Still not feeling excited about running, and I didn't push the issue. I jogged the dog around the block in the morning, and then went up to Green Canyon in the early afternoon for a short XC ski session. There was absolutely no wind in the canyon, and big fat snowflakes were falling leisurely. It was quite pretty. Snow coverage was really good, but it was relatively warm, so snow was sticking to my skis on the way up, but going down was great. Merry Christmas!

Skipped out on running again, and spent the morning skiing at Beaver Mountain. My tele turns weren't the sharpest, but all in all I had a good ski day. 18" of new powder, and combined with a day off work...rare! After I was sufficiently tired, I went home and dug out the driveway. Is that cross training as well?

Roads were still completely trashed with snow, so I jogged to the gym. I did 4 miles on the treadmill and then 30 minutes on the elliptical. Quads and glutes were sore from telemarking yesterday.
