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

AM - ran the dog around the block

noon - ran from work and did the First Dam Run 10K course at brisk pace. Tried to keep the pace honest, but "conversational" (although I had no one to talk to). Splits were 6:21, 6:11, 6:01, 6:00, 5:55, 5:54. All in all, I felt good.

AM - ran the dog around the block

noon - ran from work to home, picked up Seth, and tried out our jogging stroller for the first. Works like a champ. We did the the Planet Walk, then I dropped Seth back off and did some laps in the grass at LHS. 7:30/mile average.

I wasn't planning on going long today, but Cody invited me to run 14 early in the morning with him, and I can never turn down company. We went from my house to the single track of the River Trail and back. The River Trail in late November! Now that's something to be thankful for! What a beautiful, warm November! I forgot to reset my garmin from yesterday, so don't have an accurate overall pace, but looking at mile splits, it was around 7:20/mile.

AM - ran the dog around the block. There was some ice on the sidewalks. So it begins...

Afternoon - got sick of working and went for a run. Did the Landfill Loop via Planet Walk, about 7.5 miles. Averaged 7:13/mile. Lots of sentence fragments.
