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

Even more sloth than before. Flew back to Logan. So far no ill effects from my couple short runs this week. I'll try a couple mile-long runs this week.

biked to gym; 30 minutes on elliptical plus lifting and stretching; ran 1 mile on grass. I'm not sure of pace, as I was not wearing a watch, but it felt a bit smoother than my previous attempts at running. Will try running another mile around Thursday or so.

biked to gym; 40 minutes on elliptical plus lifting and stretching. The chiropractor tried a treatment similar to Graston on my foot yesterday. See grastontechnique.com. My foot felt pretty good coming in and pretty good leaving, and fine this morning, so hard to say it's effectiveness. Basically I have just a slight bit of inflammation left (about a 0.5 out of 10) that I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of.

45 minutes on elliptical, 6 minutes on stair-stepper, 3 minutes running on treadmill. My foot was in a bit of discomfort, so I laid off the running. Lifted weights and stretched.
