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

No running. 30 minutes on elliptical; HR ~155. Sunday my back was feeling quite a bit better, and today it is near-perfect. Very pleased. Right now my foot is the only thing keeping me from running. My knee seems much stronger, my back is getting there, and I've even regained feeling back in my left quad (must have been a pinched nerve). I should also mention that I've had a mysterious groin strain for the last couple weeks. My only guess is that I got it from overstretching. Perhaps I've been a bit too zealous at times.

No running. 30 minutes on elliptial, HR in 150s. Did stretches and core strength. My back is still holding up and feeling pretty good, although had some minor stiffness today.

No running. 30 minutes on elliptical. Went to chiropractor today; told him not to hurt me so bad this time. I'm not sure if he took the suggestion or if my body is just adapting, but I'm not getting as much stiffness this evening and from previous visits.

Ran 3 miles easy on grass around Logan High. Pace around 8:45/mile. That fact that I could run today was largely based on me trying a different method of taping; gave me a lot me support and took away a lot of pain. Hopefully I can start training again, slowly.

Ran a few miles this morning with my Wasatch Back Relay team. Although I am not actually racing, I'm still a driver and logistical captain. It was great to run again with people, even if it was only 8:30 miles on soggy grass.
