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

| Ran from home down Canyon Road to just past First Dam (up 89) and back. Did 6x100m strides on way back. Pace for run was about 7:00/mile or slighly under. **** End of year! This year's total mileage: 1686. Next I hope to not miss 5 months with injury, and to top 3000 miles. | | Add Comment |

| Oh boy, a blank training calendar! Started the year out by running to the gym, doing 30 minutes on the elliptical, lifted, stretched, and then ran back home and continued north to 2200 N, out-and-back. Left the watch off, since it's a holiday and all.

| Did a modified Providence Hill Loop with 6x100m strides in the middle. Covered 8 miles in 55:10 (6:53/mile). Strides were on a slight downhill and I tried to focus on leg turnover and form. Jogged around the block with the dog afterward. | | Add Comment |

| Warmer out today. I ran from work to the gym and hit the paved River Trail on way. I did the Golden Mile each way at brisk pace and collected 5:30 splits (6:03/mile pace). Then I stopped at the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then some chin-ups and lunges. Ran back to work via the TOU course and average around 7:00/mile. | | Add Comment |

| AM - Went to gym and lifted weights, stretched. PM - Ran a brisk-pace run, a similar landfill loop to last week, except added a mile by doing an out-and-back to 200N near the landfill. Picked it up for the middle three miles and ran mile splits ranging 6:05-6:15 for that stretch. Added 4x100m strides near end. They felt slow, but I tried to focus on form. Averaged 6:24/mile for the entire 9-mile run. It's interesting reading people's logs who live along the Wasatch Front. It sounds like they have received much worse weather than Logan all winter. I have only had to shovel snow once, and it was only about 2 inches. Footing and road/sidewalk conditions have been excellent here. It's surprising to me, because usually I'm envious of people running in Salt Lake since Logan tends to get the short end of the weather stick. Oh well, it's been a really bad winter here for skiing, but fantastic for running. I'll take it while I can get it! | | Comments(3) |

| Ran a big loop out to Young Ward and around through Icon and back on Golf Course Rd. Ran with Cody, who has one of those fancy Garmin 305 thingys. Our first four mile splits were in the 6:40's and 6:50s, then we turned into a headwind and hit 7:10-7:15 for awhile, and then picked it up to 7:00 pace when we got more favorable wind again. With 1 mile to go we were averaging 7:01/mile, so we picked it up a little to dust the 7-minute guy, who made a guest appearance in Logan. All in all, a pretty good run, and I'm happy to be holding 7:00/mile pace on my longer runs. 53 miles running this week, 55 scheduled for next week. | | Add Comment |
