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

| Did a bit of a tempo today, up Smithfield Canyon and back. Averaged 6:20-6:30 on the uphill miles, and about 5:30/mile on the downhill miles. 5:59/mile average for the whole run. Wicked cold this morning. |

| Did a semi-loop from Summit Dr to Upper Canyon Rd down Canyon Rd and back up on 600 S. Did some strides in the middle. Averaged 6:41/mile for the run. It was warmer out today than expected, and I overdressed. Yesterday I underdressed. Once I get the wireless thermometer I ordered from Amazon, I will be complete. |

| Ran from work today. It was very warm out (like, upper 30s), and I got all hot and sweaty. It was disgusting. It is supposed to be back down to single digits tomorrow morning, and I am looking forward to the reprieve. Ran the Providence Hill Loop, and did some speed play (aka - fartlek) in the middle of it. Kept to the literal sense of the term, and did not stick to any specific time or pace, just ran hard for a few minutes then easy, then hard again. Kept it, you know, "playful". Did some uphill and some downhill for variety during the speed play sessions. Ended up averaging 6:22/mile for 9.5 miles, so not a bad workout.

| 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). |

| Worked at home today, which gave me the luxury of running in the sun. So I waited until 11AM, and by then it was a very pleasant +3 degrees outside. I ran the Big Smithfield Loop, averaged 6:33/mile for 8.25 miles. Did some strides in the middle. |

Woke up with a sore throat and some congestion, so I'm not running today. Rest, and live to run another day.
