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

Nice easy Sunday morning run, modified Canal Trail Loop. Went up to First Dam to turn around, and battled a very cold canyon wind, but it got warmer on the way back. Jogged around the block with the dog afterward. Knee feels fine today.

Did 30 minutes on elliptical at gym, then lifted weights and stretched a little. Afterwards, ran 7 miles from the gym to Millville Elementary and back. It was windy, but at least I beat the snow.

Sat indoors all day. I try to plan my allotted days off for the worst weather.

Ran down paved river trail and then hooked up with the Landfill Loop. I took a few mile splits to check my pace, and they were 6:40, 6:30, 6:38, 6:40. This kind of pace is feeling easier and easier, a good sign that my aerobic base is improving.
