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

For anyone interested, I've posted a map, profile, and discussion about the Ogden Marathon course on my personal blog.

*********************************************

Slept in until 7AM, and then jogged out to LHS rec fields and did a couple easy barefoot striders in the grass. Jogged back home, and did a few blocks with the dog. The temperature is alarmingly warm for 7AM.

I just got another week increase in vacation, so will use a few hours this afternoon so that I can relax, lounge around, and take it easy before we head to Ogden. Also scheduled for a quick stop at the chiro for a final tune-up this afternoon. Will get a haircut as well, to make me more aerodynamic. So many pre-race preparations...

Cool stuff on your web site! What a great job for an avid runner.

Dave. Did you modify our traditional post-race dish with bugers or something? That's sick.

Regardless, do some damage, Paul.

Sounds very similar to what I am doing today. I am getting a hair cut, trying to rest a bit, and goig to see Stucky at noon.

Good information on the Ogden course, good luck tomorrow and I'll try to look you guys up after the race. I'm getting more and more excited about the 1/2.
