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

30 minutes elliptical. My foot has had a couple really "good" days in a row now. If only I can get my groin to cooperate. I have a gait analysis set up for next Wednesday, so hopefully I will be able to run a little by then, otherwise I will have to postpone.

Feeling run-down by evening; some sort of sickness coming on.

I've been a little sick for the last couple days. I took yesterday off work and slept in, and got about 10 hrs of sleep last night as well.

The good news is that my foot continues to progress, and it's been consistent and steady. My lower back has been doing well these last two weeks, and my knee has been strong and stable as well. I've got a PT appointment next Monday for my groin, as that's the only thing that hasn't been making progress, and is hindering me from running. Although, in some ways it's good that my groin won't allow me to run, because it will ensure a more complete recovery for my foot (I have a tendency to push too early). At this point, my summer and most of my fall is completely shot anyway, so what's a few more weeks? St. George is looking 98% doubtful. Assuming I started running in the next week or so, I would barely be in shape for it, so it would do more harm than good. I'll probably call next week and see if I can defer my comp and $150 travel money until 2007.

Wasatch Back Relay. Didn't run, but paced runners on bike at night. My team ended up 6th overall with a time of 19:57, and won the ultra division by almost 3 hours. I'd rather be running, but the whole logistics and team captain end of things was equally rewarding, as I've always gotten a thrill out of seeing friends and teammates run fast.
