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

AM - ran the dog around the block, then ran to the gym. 15 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes bike. 2x12 4-way hip @ 80 lbs, 2x20 lunges @ 15 lbs. Ran home. Then walked to work, dropped off my stuff, and ran to my dental appointment (~2 miles). Had my teeth cleaned (no cavities!), and then ran back to work (~2 miles). That adds up to 5.5 miles, spread out between 5 discontinuous runs. 5-a-days! (Triax: 447 miles) PM - ran a few miles with Jon and Cody. 7:16/mile average pace. (Tangent: 26 miles) | | Comments(7) |

AM - ran the dog around the block, and then ran to breakfast. 3.75 miles total. Nice and warm this morning. I think our driveway snow might completely melt by the end of today, a sure indicator of spring! (Adrenaline: 105 miles) PM - ran the Providence Loop, then stopped at the gym and did 15 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes on the arc trainer. For fun, I wore my little Polar HR monitor. All this unit does is give current heart rate. No time, no stopwatch, no averages or stats. Just current HR in big numbers. I was upper 140s, low 150s during the run on flat stuff, upper 150s on uphills. Yikes! When I'm fit, I'll stay below 140 on runs like this. On the elliptical, I tended to be in the lower 140s, and on the arc trainer I was around 160, with a high of 168. That arc trainer can sure work me over. Lifted weights: - 2x12 adductors @ 110 lbs
- 2x12 abductors @ 100 lbs
- 1x60 leg press @ 130 lbs
- 1x30 single-leg press @ 70 lbs (right leg only)
Ran home. 5.5 miles total for the run.

AM - gym routine. Ran the dog for a mile, then ran to the gym, then did 20 minutes on the elliptical followed by 10 minutes on the bike. Did some lifting: - 2x12 4-way hip @ 80 lbs (both legs)
- 4x20 lunges @ 20 lbs
Ran home the long way through River Heights. (Triax: 452 miles) PM - did the Landfill Loop (5.25 miles). It was a beautiful day, and I felt great during the first three miles - all 6:40-6:45 pace. Once I made the turn back toward town, I realized why I felt so great: a favorable tailwind (which quickly turned into a headwind). Didn't feel so great coming back, and chunked some 7:10s with what seemed like more effort. I've noticed things like headwind and uphills are a lot harder to push through when fitness is low. Pace on a downhill or with a tailwind when not in shape may not be a whole lot different than when very fit, but the fit person does not slow down much when the conditions change (probably why the hilly NYC Trials course wasn't as slow as expected). Adverse conditions usually have a way of revealing true fitness. Average pace for the run was 6:54/mile. (Axiom: 53 miles)

Did a "long run" today with James, Logan, and Jon. It was like a fast running blog summit, as we had representatives from three different counties. Maybe it would just from running with other people, but I felt absolutely great today, and did 9 miles with no hamstring twinges or discomfort. We ran the Providence Hill Loop, and averaged 7:44/mile. Too busy gabbing to run very fast, but I can't do fast right now anyway, so it was a good run. (Axiom: 62 miles) PM - took a killer nap, then jogged a half mile with the dog.
