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

Crummy rainy day. I decided to wait for a day not so crummy to run. Recovery from the race has been good. Very little residual soreness and I don't feel "pounded" at all (partially due to wearing lightweight trainers rather than racing flats). **** For those interested in the Wasatch Back Relay, I have posted an entry on my MarathonGIS blog describing the 2007 course changes, and a link to some sweet flash maps. | | Comments(1) |

Ran to gym and lifted weights this morning. Today was supposed to be "bagel Tuesday" at the gym, but there were no bagels there. Needless to say, I was vexed. After lifting, I ran home and scarfed a cliff bar, then continued with my run. Very easy pace day; not a whole lot of energy. 7:30/mile pace for the run. I did my run on the canal trail loop, and there was no snow to be found. It's been a very strange February. I bought some trail shoes (Brooks Cascadia) at the WRC last Saturday, so I may be able hit some trails sooner than later! Weighed in today at 128 lbs. That was before breakfast, but still, oh my! I actually need to put on a few pounds now. However, I know that the general weight loss has been key to improving my race times and staying injury-free. I was 145 lbs last year at this point, and fighting knee and back problems. According to my blog, I was 143 lbs a couple days before I PR'ed in the half marathon last April; I am now 15 lbs lighter than that. Just running a quick, generic calculation, since V02Max is a volume (mL) divided by mass (kg), if my oxygen volume is roughly the same, given the fact that I've dropped 6.5 kg, my V02Max could be up to 7 units higher due to just dropping weight. I know that's a simplistic calculation, but the general idea holds true. I think the fact that I just ran a 5k about a minute faster than at this point last year adds some validity to the calcualtion as well.
All that being said, I'm already chowing down as it is, and am still losing weight, so I need to chow down some more. I added an addition PB&J sandwich to my lunch today as a start. | | Add Comment |

| Met Dan, David, and Jon at the Logan Canyon River Trail (ran from work). Ran the trail from the gate to Spring Hollow campground and back. Very easy pace. The trail was very muddy, and icy in some spots still. The single track was especially slick. | | Add Comment |

| Awesome, warm sunny day today; ran in shorts in t-shirt. Did a 15-miler, with Dan and Cody for most of it. We held 6:57 pace for the first 11.5 miles, then dropped off Dan. Then Cody and I did 2 miles of loops in the LHS grass field at around 7:20/mile. It was good to get on the softer surface. I finished off the run with my dog. I took my dog to the vet today for a routine checkup, and he weighed in at 98 lbs, almost 20 pounds heavier than last year. I told him afterwards he needs to get his butt into shape, so I'll try to take him out for longer runs to help him accomplish that. | | Comments(2) |
