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

| Alta Peruvian Downhill Dash (8K). Time of 22:55 is a PR of...2 minutes!! I'm not counting it as a PR though, due to the 8% downhill grade! Quads are BLASTED. This is probably the most fun race I've ever done, though, complete with barbeque, kegs of beer, and hot tub afterwards. I ended up winning a night stay at the lodge, which will be great for ski season. I didn't really key in on this race, just did it for the circuit points and some last-minute downhill training. Went out "slow" and passed people the last two miles, so a lot of fun to run that style. Good confidence booster for marathon. Mile splits/HR: 4:40/174 --went out "off pace" 4:33/183 -- sped up a little 4:29/186 -- flying; starting to catch people 4:50/189 -- calm before the storm 4:21/192 -- almost a mile PR! are markers off? | | Comments(2) |

| Top of Utah Marathon. 2:35:20, a 5 minute PR. I wanted to break 2:30, but one step at a time, so this was a nice race, plus won $500, enough to buy my telemark ski setup. Overall happy with race, and although I slowed down a bit the last 6 miles, it wasn't a brick wall like last year. My calves and hammies got sore around Mile 7 from the Peruvian, but I think my training was good enough to push through the residual soreness. This was my 3rd marathon (TOU in 2002, Ogden in 2003), so I've finally gained enough experience to not be as stupid as before. This year I just let Sasha go from the beginning and win the thing; I had no chance and did well to race for 2nd. No regrets and congrats to Sasha on a breakthru! Ended up 5th in the LDR circuit and one $100 to go on top of the $500.
