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 - lots of new snow this morning, probably about 8 inches are on the ground right now. Rather than deal with slippery roads and dangerous cars, I elected for the treadmill at the gym. It had been quite a while since I'd been there, and I forgot how boring it is. Hopefully I will not have to do this much, but the forecast for the rest of the week looks bleak. Did 1.5 miles running to the gym and back, and 6 miles on the treadmill at the gym, averaging about 7:00/mile.

PM - planet walk with Jon and Cody. Slow.

Hopefully the roads will be better by tomorrow evening- Cody and I are doing a BW, if you want to come. Roads permitting.

I think the roads will be pretty good by this evening. I am doing the First Dam Run 10K tempo tomorrow if you guys want to join me. It's a great pre-race tuneup.
