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 from work, Planet Walk. The snow stopped early in my run, which was nice, and roads were in decent shape, although the PW was a little slick. Averaged 7:08/mile for 6 miles. |

| Out-and-back to the north side of Smithfield. Warmer today, but roads were a little sloppy and slow. Fortunately my treadmill arrives tomorrow (finally). 6 miles, averaged 7:32/mile. |

| Finally got the long awaited treadmill. It's a NordicTrack Commercial 1750, and it's pretty nice. I ended up running on it today, because it was raining, and that was a good enough excuse. Hanging out with my wife and kids, watching Veggie Tales while running is infinitely better than slogging through the fog. Did 7 miles at 1% incline, started at 7:00/mile and worked up to 6:00/mile by the end.

| Summit Dr to Smithfield Canyon. 8 miles, 6:24/mile. Cold out, but I actually got hot at the end from my face warmer. It's best for temps under 5 degrees, and it was 10 degrees by the time I finished, so I was way overdressed. |

| Since I didn't run yesterday, I did a good run today. It was warm (about 40 degrees) and raining, and tights, underarmour top, and a hat was perfect dress. Did and out-and-back into North Logan, and felt great. 9 miles, averaged 6:08/mile. |

I didn't feel like running today, so I didn't run.

| Ran with the one-and-only Logan Fielding today from work. We did the North Logan-USU Loop. It was longer than I remember, so I ended up at 10 miles for the day. Logan kept pushing the pace, and I didn't feel great, but good to run with him. 6:47/mile for the run. |

| Ran with Logan today. We drove up to the TOU Half start line, up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. Ran up the canyon 5 miles, and then back down. It was a little bit cold going up, due to shade and a light headwind, but going down was very comfortable, and it was a beautiful, sunny day. Averaged 6:07/mile for the entire run of 10 miles. |

| Snowy today. I decided to try out some "show chains" that someone gave me -- basically works like chains for tires, except for shoes. I've been using them for shoveling, and they definitely add a lot of grip without adding weight. They worked reasonable well for running. They were best on really hard-packed snow and ice. Less good in the sloppy stuff. Ran Smithfield Canyon, 9 miles, 7:06/mile average. |
