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

Back to single digits this morning, but I dressed appropriately thanks to my new wireless indoor/outdoor thermoter ($15, amazon.com). So I knew the temperature before I even got out of bed. I'm quite excited about this toy, obviously. My other toy, the garmin, ran out of batteries midway through my run, so I didn't get a time or pace. I ran a semi-loop out to Hyde Park and North Logan. It turned out to be about 7.75 miles according to gmap. Took it easy for the most part, and enjoy the crisp air and the nice views of the Wellsvilles (first non-smoggy or non-snowy day we've had in weeks, and visibility was excellent).

I agree with the thermometer, it is the first thing I look at in the monrnig to get ready for a run.

What brand did you buy? I ran outside today at -5. But where the weather.com reports int our area by the airport it was -1. Luckily I ran with my friend who has one at his house.

I used to have one, but it didn't work good.

Dang, the price just dropped. It's only $10 now! So far it works fine, but it's only been one day. Verdict is still out.
