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 - easy 8.5 miles. Roads are still very snowy, and traction is difficult. I ran around town for a while, then did the Planet Walk, which hasn't been plowed yet, but has been packed down a little. 8:19/mile average pace.

(Adrenaline: 14 miles)

PM - I was sick of being cold every run and was craving a good sweat, so for the PM run I went to the gym and hit the treadmill. 7.5 total, with the run to and from the gym.

(Adrenaline blue: 499 miles)

I am still in town until tomorrow morning if you want to go for a nice cold run. Let me know.

Hi Paul,

Tried sending a response but I am having trouble figuring this out, hope this works.

Glad you know that true value of Chiropractic.

Your an amazing runner, wow.

Todd - Thanks. I got your comments from yesterday. If you reply on your own blog, people who posted comments will receive an email notification with the reply, so usually just replying on your own blog works well.

I'll look forward to picking your mind whenever I have a biomechanics or nervous system-related question!

From Paul Petersen on Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 21:55:38

Logan - I'm planning 8x1000m sometime tomorrow. Morning works, but I'll wait until it's light out. Could be an interesting workout with the snowy roads. I'd welcome the company. Let me know your plans.

Pretty sweet podcast! Mr. Famous runner guy!

From Logan on Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 22:56:15

I don't know if the speed work would go to well with my body and it being sick. I forgot you were planning on speed work tomorrow.

Logan don't be a wuss!

From Paul Petersen on Wed, Dec 26, 2007 at 23:52:24

Logan - don't worry about it, just take it easy. If it snows, I may end up on the treadmill anyway.

Thanks. I enjoyed the podcast on the Final Sprint.
