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

Easy out-and-back to Millville. 6:48/mile pace. Air quality was a bit more tolerable today. I didn't feel sick while I ran. | | Comments(1) |

| Crosstraining day. Had my wife drop me off at the gym on the way back from the chiropractor, and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. Jogged home 1 mile from the gym. | | Comments(2) |

Easy run (Providence Hill loop) with 6x100m strides in the middle. 7:03 pace for the entire run. The inversion finally blew out (for now), so a pretty nice day today.

Today Cody, Dan, and I did a 2-mile time trial on part of the Landfill Loop. The purpose of this was to give me an idea of my current fitness and an estimate of an appropriate 5k pace for the upcoming Striders 5k in 9 days. The time trial course is very flat, and the weather was very nice with no snow or wind, and not too cold either. Other than an isolated splot of ice and slush on the first mile, road conditions were good. Did a 2-mile warmup with 4x100m strides. I was hoping to run 10:00, but ended up at 10:27. First mile was around 5:04, so the second was 5:23, very lopsided. This was measured with my Timex GPS, so give or take a couple seconds. I had forgotten how much it hurt to fun that fast, so this was good to do before the 5k race. I think with proper pacing, competition, pushing myself harder, and some "raceday magic" (adrenaline), I can probably hold 5:15 pace for a 5k (16:20). The Ogden course will be slower due due a sizeable hill, so I think I will be happy with under 16:40 for that race. Regardless, I did learn today that I shouldn't go out in 5:00, which will be key. I cooled down with Cody and Dan and then turned off on 1400 N, and did 4x100m strides, which felt good. In all, my recovery from the time trial was pretty fast, a good sign. Tried to keep the pace under 7:00/mile the last two miles of the run. ****** I have added a new (original) entry to my personal blog regarding the upcoming Striders Series. | | Comments(1) |

Easy day, North Logan out-and-back. Caught the 7-minute guy with 2 miles left and said, "Smell ya' later!" 6:57/mile pace for entire run. I can feel yesterday a little, but not too much. Ave HR 153.

| Jogged around the block with the dog, and then met Cody for a 13.2-mile jaunt up and around Millville, Prov-town, and River Heights. Followed the new Wasatch Back Relay course on the way out, then got up on the bench for the return trip, and some running on the TOU course as well. 7:15/mile pace for the run. Felt okay, but a bit stiff. Nice morning. 65 miles total for the week, the same schedule for next week. | | Add Comment |
