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 to the gym. Warmed up for 5 minutes on the elliptical, then did 10x3-minutes hard with 1-minute recovery. My legs were really not into the whole hard workout thing for the first couple intervals, but it got better as I went along. HR got up to 180. 5 minute cooldown. Ran home, then ran the dog around the block.

Ran to the gym. Did 2 miles on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the elliptical. Ran home. Jon, the bagels showed up at 5:53, so you missed them by about 10 minutes.

Ran to the gym. I wanted to do an elliptical workout, but my legs felt pretty bad. So instead I just did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and 3 miles running on the treadmill. Nothing hard. Ran home, and then ran the dog around the block.

Alarm went off, and my body said, "No". Tired legs and no motivation today. So I didn't do anything other than jog the dog around the block. And that felt good.

Oh yeah, I broke into double-digits for my run today. Ran a North Logan loop with Cody, at about 8:00/mile pace. There was a thin layer of snow on the roads, but it was not very slick, so I didn't really notice. I stopped at the gym on the way back and did 10 minutes on the arc trainer and 20 minutes on the elliptical for a little bit extra.
