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

| The snow last night cleared out the air and the inversion has temporarily lifted. Much warmer and less "soupy" today, which made for an enjoyable run. I ran an out-and-back into Millville. I was testing the Adeo for the first time, and it took me awhile to get the gps connected reliably, but eventually it worked and held the satellites. The mile splits I was getting were all the 6:35-6:55 range, and I felt pretty good. Listened to a Toad the Wet Sprocket concert and This American Life podcast through the Adeo. This was my first experience with running with music and it wasn't half bad. Ave HR 150 | | Add Comment |

Did a 10-mile out-and-back up to North Logan on 1200 E. 6:50/mile pace for the run. Today is a GREEN burn day in Logan, making for nice running. Ave HR 148.
I'm still looking for 4 more runners for my Relay del Sol team. Entry fee has been comped. We are a "competitive" team, meaning 7:00/mile pace or faster. But the main focus is fun. Interested bloggers feel free to contact me.

AM - lifted weights at gym. Weighed in at 130 lbs. PM - Easy run; did big loop around Logan and rocked out to Mutual Admiration Society. 6:41/mile pace.
Red burn day in Logan today. The air is pure soup. I was feeling sick to my
stomach during the run because of it. I'll try to get up either Blacksmith or Logan Canyon tomorrow for my long run.

Jogged around the block with the dog. Then Cody came by and picked me up (and Dan too) to run in Blacksmith Fork. The goal was to get out of the inversion and we were successful in that. We parked near the 6.75 mile mark of the TOU course and ran up the canyon toward Hardware Ranch. Turned around at 6.5 miles (near the start line) and came back downhill. I did 6x100m strides near the top. We kept a good pace for most the run, and my mile splits were 7:05, 7:05, 7:12, 7:17, 7:17, 6:54, 6:49, 6:51, 6:40, 6:17, 7:11, 7:08, 6:28. 6:56/mile pace for the entire run. HR monitor was having a hard time. It was great getting out of the smog and seeing blue sky and breathing clean air. Toward the end of the run it actually started getting pretty warm. 61.5 miles this week, 63 scheduled for next week. | | Add Comment |
