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

Do you like the DS trainer? I was thinking of getting a pair.

Yup, great shoe, I like them a lot.

Sweet! I'll probably get some then. I was also thinking about the DS racer too, you have any info on them? I have been too out of the running loop for too long to know what is good and what is not.

I've been thinking recently about what you blogged a year or more ago about not being nervous for the marathon. How it's like painting a house and the hard part is scraping and putting on primer, the fun part is painting or racing. Hopefully Boston is as good to us as it was last year for you!

Sounds like something I'd say. Good luck in Boston. Enjoy it.
