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

| No real workout today, but I did do some intense sledding, and climbing back up the hill was a bit like a stair-stepper, except harder. Does that count as cross-training? | | Comments(2) |

| Ran with Jon through River Heights to the gym. I g-mapped the route to be about 2.2 miles, and it it took about 18 minutes, so pace was somewhere in the neighborhood of 8:15/mile. At the gym I did 15 minutes on the arc trainer and 20 minutes on the bike. | | Add Comment |

AM - slept poorly last night, and had nightmares about relational databases. Woke up with a strong conviction to learn PostgreSQL. Not how I want to start my day. Later, I met some people from church for breakfast at McDonalds, so I ran there at about 9-minute pace, about 1.25 miles (10 blocks). I ended up hitching a ride back because running with a cup of coffee would have been awkward. PM - needed to drop off a DVD for work at Square One Printing, and since I don't have a car during the day, I ran there. 12 blocks each way, so 3 miles. The run took 26:00, so 8:40/mile pace average. Definitely the best run I've had since getting injured. During the first mile it felt like I was starting to get some biomechanics back. The last half was a bit sluggish, but not too much pain. The air here is really nasty from the inversion, and I was hacking up stuff by the end. I am definitely looking forward to our vacation down to St. George starting tomorrow!
******** By the way, I posted a recruitment thread on the message board for our Wasatch Back Relay teams. Reply to the thread if you are interested in running with us, and I'll add you to the list. | | Comments(1) |

| Stayed at James' place in American Fork, and then drove down to St. George in the morning for our spa vacation (2nd place St. George Marathon prize). Stopped by Clyde's for a while, and then I totally worked him over during a 3 mile run in which we average 8:30/mile. | | Add Comment |

| Ran with the St. George Running Club this morning. They were kind enough to run by and pick me up at Green Valley. Then we ran down Dixie St. to the light at some other street (think it was Sunset), where I turned around and went back by myself. My goal today was to beat Lybi's 5K time. Thanks to team pacing, I blazed through the first two miles in 7:44 and 7:47: well under pace. After the turnaround, I was on my own, and pace slowed to 8:12 for Mile 3. But it was still good enough for 24:30 at 3.1, so I broke Lybi's post-high school 5K PR, but not her 5K PR. Maybe next time. Then it's on to Benjamin. My last two miles slowed down quite a bit, and I ended up with 5 miles in 41:21 (8:16/mile). It's still a work in progress, and still some irritation in the hamstring, but at least I'm back to running a somewhat normal pace. After breakfast, we drove back up north (regretfully), and checked in to the Peruvian Lodge up Little Cottonwood Canyon (another race prize). Alta has a ski free after 3PM deal on their small lift, so I hitched a ride out there and had time to get one run in before the lift closed. This is my first time tele skiing this year, since I've been too tentative to try it with the hamstring. I figured trying an easy run on the free lift would be the safest way to test it before actually shelling out money tomorrow. It seemed to have passed the test. I could "feel" the tendinitis, but it didn't affect my turning, and didn't bother me too much. And I didn't biff at all, despite being out of shape and out of practice. Recovery that evening was good.
