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

was it below zero there this morning like the news said it would be last night?

From Paul on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 12:37:24 from 65.103.252.214

It was about 10 degrees, not too bad out.

From Jon on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 19:36:20 from 75.169.146.150

Smithfield was warm. It was 1 deg at my house.

From Paul on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 19:41:25 from 204.113.19.55

Hmmm, that's cold. I didn't run until 8AM though, so the sun was up.

What's up with the no-comments on marathongis blog?

From Paul on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 19:57:49 from 65.103.252.214

Uh...must have hit the no-comment button by accident for the most recent post. I've fixed it.

From Scott Ensign on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:09:43 from 65.100.253.126

Paul, yeah right, I think you are just paranoid someone will post an anonymous comment to your web site. we can't have that. someone might anonymously post a disparaging comment about, for example, Jon's awful green gaiters. There are all kinds of lurkers out there just dying to do that you know.

Hey- did you see I figured out how to change my blog nickname to my real name? I am pretty proud of myself... no anonymity anymore for this red rooster.

From Paul on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:14:28 from 65.103.252.214

Scott, now that you are no longer anonymous, I've already stolen your identity.

From Scott Ensign on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:29:27 from 65.100.253.126

Paul, that is fine, as long as you also register for some races as me and bring home some hardware (and better yet, cash) for me.

From Superfly on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:53:20 from 208.117.127.110

LOL... Paul that was good:)

From Jon on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 19:31:46 from 75.169.146.150

You're just jealous of my shorts and matching gaiters, Scott.
