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

I woke up today feeling very unmotivated. This seems to be an increasing trend. I fed my unmotivation by sleeping in and skipping the gym. I ended up having some free time after work, though, and ran the Planet Walk, very easy. Left hip and SI are hurting.

Still disinterested in training. Well, I like reading about other peoples' training, but do not want to actually do it myself. I'm sure the mood will pass.

AM - ran to breakfast

Afternoon - ran the Landfill Loop. It was mild out, with clean air and even a little bit of sunshine. It was an enjoyable run, and my body felt better than it had the last few days. Ran home afterward.

AM - ran the dog around the block

PM - ran the Planet Walk with Seth after work. Very very slow, even for with a stroller. The ice didn't help either. Seth fell asleep as usual and I almost did too.

Did I run today? I don't think so. I don't remember, so probably not.

Did the North Logan Loop, and met Joe and Ruthie up by campus. It was a cold morning (as usual), and I was butt-slow. About 8-minute/mile pace. Right hammie hurt.

Went to Solitude in the afternoon and skiied a half-day with a group of A.S.-kickers. Fun times, and it was nice to meet some new people. The snow was just so-so, but the day was warm and beautiful, so it was great to get out, get some sun, and cut some turns. Solitude was nice too: my first time there. No lines, so I guess the namesake is true.
