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

| Gorgeous day today, short-sleeves weather. I decided to do my long run of week today, since the weather is forcasted to get very cold soon, plus I am leaving on a yurt trip Saturday morning and probably won't be able to run. I ran a big loop into Millville and up onto the bench, and back through Providence and River Heights and then on into Logan via Center St. It's a hilly route, and I tried to work the hills to start building that "hill strength". Ended up running 6:38/mile pace for the run. I am very pleased with how training is going right now. | | Add Comment |

| Ran to gym and did 30 minutes on elliptical, then some chinups and stretching. Ran back home via the TOU course and grabbed the dog for a half mile, dropped the dog off, and did an out-and-back to the end of the paved river trail, with 6x100m strides in the middle. | | Add Comment |

I didn't have time to run until night, so I slipped on my reflective vest and braved the icy Logan roads to the gym. I wanted to do a Tinman tempo today, so I decided to try the treadmill rather than slide around on the dark roads the entire time. I've probably ran on a treadmill two or three other times, so had to focus on not flying off the thing. Looking at the TV above and to the right of my head definitely was not an option due to safety reasons. I started off at 6:45 pace, and kept myself entertained by increasing the speed by 0.2 mph every 5 minutes. I hit 5:49/mile pace near the end and was feeling pretty good at that effort. Running is a lot easier without wind resistance. 6:18/mile pace for the overall workout. Ran back home to cool down. I weighed in today at 130.5 lbs. I'm wearing jeans that I had in high school again.
Sasha, you're my hero. Thanks!

Butt-cold this morning with some new snow, so I decided to opt out to the treadmill again. This time I got one farther back for a better TV viewing angle. It was sweet. This treadmill also had a little feature that showed your position if you were running on a track and counted your track laps. So basically it was trying to take your mind off something boring (treadmill) with something equally boring (track). I wasn't too keen on that feature. But I did appreciate the dual fans to keep me cool. After a 5-minute warmup on elliptical, I jumped on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 6:40/mile, then did 10 minutes on the elliptical, and another 30 minutes on the treadmill at 6:40/mile. Cooled down with 10 minutes on the elliptical. Way too much indoor training for me. Hopefully that is all the treadmill I will have to do for the year. Did some light lifting and stretching afterward. This is the end of my running week, as I will be going on a yurt trip from Saturday through Monday. Hopefully I will get back in time on Monday to get a run in so that I can keep up with the 6 days/week thing. 55 miles total for this week, 60 scheduled for next week.

Yurt trip. Left Logan at 8AM and hiked up to the Bunchgrass Yurt. Skiied a few shots, and I managed not to kill myself in the trees. I haven't skiied as much this year as I anticipated due to poor snow, but I was pleased with how my running fitness carried over to the uptrek. I felt good and was not very tire from the hike in.
