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

Ran North Logan Loop. 8.25 miles in 54:15 (6:34/mile). Felt very good. It's a beautiful Christmas Eve Day here in Logan, a little warmer and even some rays of sun. Most of the snow is melted off roads and sidewalks, so good footing. *** I've posted a new entry on my website blog, "To Marathon or not to Marathon"

It rained all yesterday and then froze overnight, so roads and sidewalks are very icy today. I ran to the gym, where I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, lifted a little, and stretched. Ran home via Providence and River Heights. It is supposed to get very cold again tomorrow.

Drove to gym, did 30 minutes on elliptical, lifted, and stretched. Then ran a big loop from the gym into Millville, up to the bench and on in to Providence. Time for 10 miles of 1:09 (6:54/mile).

50 miles for week; 53 miles planned for next week. Time to start bumping up the long runs. I also plan to add strides a couple times a week too.
