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

What a cold, rainy awful day today. For those who need it, here is today's motivational photo:

Now get out there and get your miles in.

PM - I ended up lucking out on the weather. We drove to Ogden in the early afternoon, where I met Logan and James. The plan was a 15-mile progression run on rolling hills. Logan picked the perfect course; it was VERY rolling. We started near 7-minute pace and worked our way down to 6-minute pace by the end. This was my longest run since St. George, but it felt okay. Weather was perfect too: cool, not raining, and not windy. 6:28/mile average pace.

(Triax: 181 miles)

Afterward, Stacy and I continued down to SLC, where I picked up some shoes and equipment at Wasatch Running, and then we went to the USATF LDR Dinner at the Alta Club. I had not been to any of the USATF dinners before, and was glad I went this time. The people were fun, the food was good, and pretty much everyone won several drawing prizes. I won a SLC 5K tech shirt (which is actually pretty nice), and (yet) another night stay at the Alta Peruvian Lodge. We now have accumulated 3 free nights at the Peruvian. Now all I need is some powder.

Bad link on the photo?

From Stacy on Sat, Oct 20, 2007 at 13:08:54

Hmmm...yeah, I don't find a broken link icon very inspiring.

Didn't work for me. I did do a right click and view image though to see it. Go Logan!

From Jon on Sat, Oct 20, 2007 at 13:56:48

Works now. Way to go, Logan.

Great Photo. I saw that on the STGM web page. You guys are looking strong with your training building into trials. Keep up the good work.

And check out the fast running blog crowd and sign in the back! My bro-in-law is in the green with the video camera (pointed the wrong way of course) and then we are all next to him...I can see Sarah and Lybi screaming! You can't miss Lybi's huge sign next to the Alltel sign either!

Thanks for inviting me on that run yesterday, it was a good run for me. I'm glad you had fun at the dinner!

From Logan on Sun, Oct 21, 2007 at 20:26:30

Thanks for the run. Sorry I pushed the pace a little bit. See you Wednesday at 5.

Logan, the pace was fine. We just like giving you a hard time! :-)
